I am idyllic, idyllic I try.
I am stronger than enjoyable and weaker than wanted.
I am tired and at times feel broken (in the process of repair) but proud to have been able to work for and experience these scars and prouder still to have watched them heal.
I am nobody and everybody I know, and everywhere I go I meet you and you meet me and we are the same, just decorated differently.
I am here, wishing I was there, wishing I where here, just to know it, just to know you better, I wish I could have been you all, if only for a moment, so I could be a better me.
I am love, and I am lonely. I’ve known hate and I am happy to know its destructive potential, I am happier to leave hate behind, mostly, assuredly, I merely am just me.
Sometimes I don’t necessarily like who I am, but I always try to love me.
I am getting tired physically and yet just teething mentally, I am learning and loving life, always, always learning how to love life even through the moments I fear living it, each breathe is sweeter than the last even the ones that hurt, for now.
Love is my faith
Kindness and empathy, my mother
Non-violence defies my father
Peace is my heritage
Patience is my nature
Optimism is my friend
Education is my future
History reminds me of how great the future can be with education
Hope is the education of the children of our world
Time is my reality, which simply helps me recognize the importance of the above, and I am forever striving to enjoy each and every sunset be it cloudy or clear.
And then there is BEAUTY, Beauty is ours to share if we would simply open our eyes and see it, EVERYWHERE; it truly is everywhere….. May peace and beauty be with you all, deeply.
This IS who i am, and who i strive daily to be.
