She Meets Life

this poem is written by Rupi Kaur. sometimes i struggle to find the right words. and when i do, i borrow hers. "i don't know what living a balanced life feels like when i am sad i don't cry i pour when i am happy i don't smile i glow when i am angry i don't yell i burn the good thing about feeling in extremes is when i love i give them wings but perhaps that isn't such a good thing cause they always tend to leave and you should see me when my heart is broken i don't grieve i shatter" -Rupi Kaur

I am back where I started. a work in progress. only a little stronger. a little wiser. and always contemplating. but a lot more cautious. I used to meet new people and go on adventures because my life felt enriched. I used to go out almost every weekend and socialize because I felt like I existed. I used to not care about getting lost because I always discovered something new. Spending extra money wasn't too big of a deal because it was worth the experience. Maybe it was being with him that has got me thinking differently about my stance in life. or from the conversations I had with patients I met during my internship. or maybe combination of both influenced me to re-evaluate my life. Something I never thought of... A person who stays/lives in the same place for 80+ years can still experience life just as much as a person who travels the world. There is so much to learn. so much to take in and so much to give. People take more than they give. they become stubbor...
