Back to work & back to you

Here I sit at my new desk

Wondering why I can’t get endless thoughts of “what ifs” out of this head…

I never thought I’d be back here,

– Calling, schedule, copy, shred –

I swear this office work will never end.

I finally have the time to be

The truest deepest version of me.

The fact I sit here and I write

Shows the truth, my decision is right

In spite of all my fears and doubt.

It’s like the man,

The one with whom I have a whole life plan…

The man who’s safe and keeps me warm

The one that makes my heart feel full & loved,

Yet somehow I still feel torn…

I know I have to see this through,

I know it’s time for my ego to stop shining through.

It’s time to love, it’s time to be

It’s time to accept that stability actually can suite me

I believe life is all about lessons. I think we learn the most about ourselves through the experiences we encounter and that's what I like to write about. Writing for me is a way to process. A way to feel. A way to get down and dirty, and most of all, real.
