Gandhi

I keep forgetting to open my eyes and really see.

I keep forgetting i'm going to be dead one day, so why not live in the moment?

I keep forgetting I don't always have to walk in a straight line.

But what I do keep remembering is to breath...deep...in and out, everyday.

I'm walking in zig zagged patterns and stumbling over my own feet.

It's like i'm free to do what I want, but I haven't decided what that free feeling feels like.

So I don't know if i'm really free.

People keep asking me when will we own ourselves completely?

I keep forgetting I haven't figured out what that truly means.

Owning our own selves, it's living.

It's dying.

Or living a legacy to tell.

It's wondering and knowing and exploring.

It's not knowing the answers to everything.

I've learned that I still have A LOT to learn.

It's lighting up the sky with paper lanterns.

It's making mistakes and learning from them.

It's making up stories because the truth isn't that exciting.

It's knowing that tonight is not the last time we'll see the light.
