Btw some of these are depressing but I'm actually okay fr
My life
When I think of my old self I am reminded of the boy who lurked in the shadows
The kid who hid behind the curtains of shame because what else to do was beyond him
And i'm not sure what changed I'm not sure when it happened but something did
At some point I realized life is too short to distance yourself from who you are
We don't have too long here so why not embrace the time you do
Why should we let fear hold us back when there is so much out there
So much to do and so much to see so much to be
Unknown universe
I find some peace in the unknown
In the missing what happens and why
I think it gives things a sort of beauty that wouldn't happen if we had all the answers
We have faith because maybe god wants us to believe in the things others can't see
We do our best because what else is there
We live passionately because we don't know if life keeps moving when our heart stops
A few things I don't know
Sometimes I find myself wondering if I really have an idea of who I am or just a movie I like to project
I know a few things to be certain but the rest all seems unsure and unknown
I don't know what my favorite color is but lately its blue
I don't know what music I like but I know how I listen to it
I don't know what kind of person I am but I can guess what people see and expect of me
I understand that this is what kids do try different things on until something fits
Take of the shirt when it's something you've outgrown its sleeves
But this process has rattled me more than most
