I Have A Purple Heart

to live 1000 lives

Not a poem, but something I think about often.

~Erika~

Being born into a world like this is something so peculiar.
Nobody knows where we come from, or where we go once we live a (hopefully) long and fruitful life.
The one thing that we do know, is that on this planet there are seven billion people living different lives.
I am merely a spec amongst a large population of souls.
In this world there are over four thousand religions.
There are one hundred and ninety five countries in this world, each with a unique culture and perspective.
There are countless sexualities, and several genders and gender identities (most of which aren't accepted by the general population).
There are millions of different ways to experience being alive.
I would need to live way over one thousand lives in order to be able to come close to experiencing everything this world has to offer.

I hope and pray every day that reincarnation is real, so I can do and be everything eventually.
