MUST

I was thinking about how opinionated I am and how much of my thoughts and feelings I have put out there through my writing...

 

I don't mind speaking my mind if I strongly believe and feel it! But I was just wondering if it would all come back to bite me later on (or if I will have to bite it when I eat my own words)... 

 

I don't think it will, though, because, in order for that to happen, it would mean that it was wrong or something. 

 

As we go through life things change, our moods change, we get silly and we get serious, our feelings change, we get happy, we get angry, and we get sad, we move through different times and places, our needs change, our likes and dislikes change, we are young and then we get older, we change. 

 

Is a caterpillar wrong because it will become a butterfly one day? No, because even though we know that what is the case right now will not be the case later on, we must still acknowledge it's presence!

 

Don't be afraid to speak loudly in the present & be who you are right now! It is what is real.

 

Everything is constantly changing! But we have to remember that WE MUST LIVE IN EACH MOMENT in order to get to the next step.

The Thought and The Heart

It's not just the present,

it's having the present in the present,

it's what you did to get it and what it means to have it before my very eyes

(right now)

what it means to want when there was no means

and then to receive when I didn't expect to

--and from you, you and you--

that's what makes it more than a present but a true gift!

At times like this,

when things aren't glowing as brightly as we are

and all around us looks the same,

when we seem to be in the same place as we were yesterday,

your gift has done things that I would have never known.

It is something I did not expect.

The action of you doing something different

and, of all times, right now,

has changed the repetition of the past

(a past in which our world did not turn and time did not pass)

what you have done has moved me

(we once were invisible beings)

now you have touched me...

within my tears that are like the sea

~the thought and the heart~

I will never forget.

Love,

Kayla ♡

yet.

What is reality?
This is not reality
I am not these rags
I am not this humble dwelling made of wood that the termites have turned into brittle paper
I am not poor
I am not just a dying shell whose flesh is aging
I am not this person who people look down on
I am not nobody
I am not the unsuccessful, not trying, loser
I am not this nonliving being
I was not created to die
This is not reality
But neither is that.
That is dreams
That is all that I am
That is a bunch of things that hasn't happened yet
That is a bunch of things just waiting to come true
That is my purpose
That is my future
That is my fortune cookie
I have life inside me
It is invisible but it moves the physical
I am an invisible being
I am this living being!
I was not made to not live!
I was made to live!
What is reality?
This is not reality
--But neither is that
Reality is nothing
because it means nothing to me.
Reality is as non existent as the invisible of what is yet to come!
