the mirror responsibility

What we need more than ever
-what we desperately need more than ever-
is people that reflect back to us who we are.
Not what life made us think we are.

Processing on my terms

It is sometimes fascinating:
starting out writing about potato chips
and ending up
scribbling about shattered emotions,
leaving their crumbs all over the place. -
a long way home

I knew that it would be a journey as a backpacker,
travelling through my new life.
Leaving everything behind, just the essentials left, if even.
At times, it feels like hitchhiking from one
worn-out resource to another.
Only strangers along the way.
Villages, I never heard of.
Will I ever build my city?
