Hold onto yourself

Don't give up who you are and the feeling in your soul of who you're meant to be. In every decision that you make in life, you must always protect the core of your existence: your purpose.

Letting

It's scary

letting go of a part of yourself
to become who you're meant to be

letting go of the miserable life you had
in order to get the life you've always wanted

letting go of the old
to make room for the new

letting the dead things die
and deleting the things that help you remember
because, honestly, you will never forget

and going out into the unknown
because you're certain of your future

Await


Good things come to those who wait

and my whole life I have been waiting.

Good people come to what awaits

and my whole life is waiting for me.

Defy the definitions

De•fy

Just because it's not in the dictionary, doesn't mean it's not a word. Words are a way of communicating with other beings. No one thing can be taken away or made out to not exist. Someone who speaks their language cannot say that your language is not an actual language or word. No one can define any one thing as though it is the same for everyone else. No one can define your words, your experiences, your beliefs, your life, and no one can define you.

behind the scenes: thoughts

...as i sat, searching on the computer, alone in the dark room lit up only by the small desk lamp, for a picture of Honi to use in the About page of www.HoniBoujouGirls.com, I came across a handful of memories from a lifetime ago. It was another life then. The best camera, in my opinion, a Fujifilm 1.3 mega pixel digital camera, from the beginning of the millennium when digital cameras were beginning to be a thing that people owned, captured so much light and life in a time before another kind of storm. We, all of us, were so much younger then, so naive then.  We didn't know about time and passing. I sat there, trying to find a picture and instead I found a bunch of sad feelings. Though there's nothing we could have known better, there was regret... that little part of you that regrets the way life turned out. Because we don't really know what life is until it's gone. We don't understand that the purpose of life is not to let you live while you're young but to learn what life really is before you die. I regret that that's the way life is. Why can't it be another way? Why couldn't life have been easier? But at the same time I know why and I do kind of understand but at the same time I feel sad about the way things are and I regret when I wish things were different...

Disappearing


When you lose someone, it's not only that person that you lose. It's not only that person that you miss when they are gone. It's also a part of you that will never come back because you can never be completely the same after you lose someone. A part of you is lost. That slightly more innocent part of you that didn't know the emptiness of echoed memories--not like this. It's not just the loved one that's a ghost. It's like you're a ghost too... I can see my old self echoing... she is just a ghost. And as life goes on you will only lose more until there is none of you left.
