everyone needs one. i find it increasingly difficult to find such in the world today as people grow increasingly apathetic and selfish. most are unwilling to be even a bit vulnerable to help their fellow man, woman or child. what will become of us?
i believe that it will just get increasingly worse until it is literally every person for themselves and we kill each other off...like we are not doing that already... yet, inside me there is a bright light of determination and hope that says HELL NO! i won't give up and i can effect change in my own world even in seemingly insignificant ways.
it is no secret that i've been broken, hurt and thrown away like garbage more than once and mostly by men, but something inside me presses on with hope, light and positive that LOVE & Good will conquor evil. it is what i must believe in order to survive otherwise living each day is an exercise in futility.
why bother struggling to make it, take another breath or get up each day? we each must have something to strive for, a purpose in life, and a reason to live. i seek daily to discover what that is for me as it seems to change like sands shifting beneath my tired unsteady frame.
i don't have all the answers. i just know what works for me and what doesn't, mostly. i make it my business to be keenly self-aware in an effort to better myself and become more confident in who i am, what i believe and why i believe what i do. it's quite a challenge as i am ever changing with each passing moment. struggling to live in the moment, leave the past behind and not focus on the future so much that i forget to enjoy now.
each day brings new discovery of myself and those around me...those that intersect my world in the daily hussle. i am honored by those who choose to share their stories, lives and selves with me. i thank you all who entrust me with those pieces of yourselves. you may not realize how precious you are, but to me you are everything.
