who said it’s going to be easy? of course it would not be. becoming a better person is not only about changing the way you act in front of certain people; becoming better involves having to grow in your rawest, purest form. it involves dealing with scary things, thoughts, and criticisms. most importantly, becoming a better person is absolutely not always about painting your town in bright colors, it is about realizing that in order to be balanced, you need both light and dark hues.

Sometimes in late summer I won’t touch anything, not
the flowers, not the blackberries
brimming in the thickets; I won’t drink
from the pond; I won’t name the birds or the trees;
I won’t whisper my own name.
One morning
the fox came down the hill, glittering and confident,
and didn’t see me—and I thought:
so this is the world.
I’m not in it.
It is beautiful.
reasons to keep going:
the people that i will meet
the good food that i will taste
the blossoms on spring that i will smell
the beautiful songs that i will hear
the art that i will make
the instruments that i will learn
the lessons that i will understand
the stories that i will hear
the books that i will read
the movies that i will watch
the pets that i will cuddle with
the gifts that i will give and receive
the words that i will listen and say
the changes that i will have to make and face
the happiness that i will hopefully soon experience
the better version of me
the soulmate who’s been waiting for me
the scenes that i will fall in love with
the countries that i will visit
the adventures that i will experience
the love that i will be giving and receiving
the amount of people that i could help
the sunrises that i will be able to witness
the discovery of new plant and animal species
the creation of a portal or time machine (maybe!)
the warm hugs that i will be giving/given
im in the mood to receive a check for six hundred thousand dollars
