I hope this year, you can
Be honest. I’m usually not so loose lipped about my personal philosophies and beliefs, but I believe it’s time for full-frontal honesty. I’ve been working hard on becoming a birther of an ideal world where letters don’t spring to fruition until each constructed word, finalized & understood, stands proudly by the mouth that spoke it to existence. See, our sentences lay faithful by the fingers that stitched together each known definition, and monologues don’t have to be made of stuffy drama classroom readings - voices are far more unique than snowflakes; language belongs to us, but only if we handle it delicately.
Be loving. Prematurely, I left the Golden State to escape a broken heart, instead of facing the consequences of being out of character. Protection was my entire description. Fall too fast down the rabbit hole at your own risk. My tumble found more stories to tell, a wishing well producing creativity, daily; I learned true friendship beyond possibility, rebuilt my loyalty, locked down pieces of my soul on the dirt paths of those who patiently waited with extended hands for me.
Be daring. There is a whole universe waiting, and another set of delicately measured days to give you a chance to change whatever you can grab on to, friend. I look forward to your continuing story.
