“no matter what anyone says or does, my task is to be good. like gold or emerald or purple repeating to itself, "no matter what anyone says or does, my task is to be emerald, my color undiminished.”

I miss this version of myself from a long time ago.

A long time ago, in a galaxy of my mind far far away. I was fun.

I wasn’t so grated by life, relationships, my own thoughts. I always felt alone and that was fine then I guess.

I can be really hot and cold, all or nothing, people around me suffer for it. I suffer for it too.

I rip the bandaid not thinking if whats underneath is healed, or ready to be exposed. Impulsively, emotionally, still immature.

I miss having blue hair and stickers on my face. That was the purest form of seeing myself. I miss her, I think she’s still in there.

I had no expectations, I got taken advantage of in friendships but it didn’t bother me as much when I was younger. Maybe I was naive.

I feel free of expectations now, but I feel I can’t find that young wild version of me. I hear her calling.

Im not sure where Im going, it doesn’t feel backwards or forwards it feels, altogether different. Like I found a new direction to move, inwards and outwards in all directions.

I feel relaxed, but still lost.

“Hand in my pocket” – Alanis Morissette.

Thats how I feel.

Thinking of daisies and neon color tights, tie dye and wacky sneakers. Putting feathers in my hair and thinking about Dr.Seuss.

I feel less like a stranger but more like someone you see on the subway on your commute,and admire.

You see them regularly and don’t quite know them but they’re a part of your day, every day.

Thats who I feel like. Im getting to know her.
