There will be days like these
Days that feel pointless
And nights that seem unending
Sunrises that exist to save you from them
And Sunsets to remind us: change, is beautiful
We all have our feats
So Walk
Walk on a path guided by your heart
And steered by your soul
Walk, each step with purpose and the next with conviction
Show us who you were, are, and will be
Embrace your path, It exists as an autobiography continually written upon
Your past is not who you are
But rather, context for who you will be
Your flaws do not make up your being
But serve as reminders that you are human, broken in a way that is beautiful
Leaving no room for normalcy, you are special
Your circumstances, do not define you
But they will facilitate the story telling what you came from
And on days when these circumstances serve as blockades
When your time feels out of reach and beyond your control
Realize the power in your perspective, the world is yours
A life lived in another man's context is not a life worth living
The world, is yours
These are words that may have been said to you, but you may not have heard
So let me reiterate
The world is yours
It isn't outside of you, it lies blanketed in your perspectives
You cannot live another man's life
In the same way you will not last living within the confines another man's reality
Your life will not be defined by those who have not lived it
So live
And in the event that you forget how
Go outside
Our earth will train you in this art
Watch the roses, how they grow amongst thorns
They will show you beauty despite your imperfections
Sit under autumn trees
They will teach you the importance in letting things go
