A small fragment of my brain and thoughts 𖦹
Maybe the strangest part of being human
is how we all carry so much
inside bodies that look so ordinary
We walk around with whole worlds within us
memories we don’t speak about
grief we quietly carry
and dreams we are still learning to name
Sometimes it feels like we are travelling this life alone
even though everyone else is searching too
Carrying the weight of things we have lost
the versions of ourselves we have outgrown
the people we miss
the moments we wish we could return to
I wonder if this is the gift and beauty of being a women
to feel the world so deeply
to hold so much inside our hearts
to be connected to the seasons of change
to love fiercely
to grieve deeply
There is something beautiful and painful
about having a heart that notices everything
The smallest moments can break us open
a memory
a song
a smell
a goodbye
And sometimes we wonder
how everyone else keeps moving
while we are still feeling everything
But maybe this is what it means to be alive
To lose
to love
to ache
to heal
to experience
to just be
To walk through this mysterious human experience
with hearts that are constantly becoming
And really we are never truly walking alone
Every person we pass
is carrying their own invisible grief & joy
their own silent story
their own search for meaning
All of us just trying to find our way home
inside this beautiful
confusing
temporary experience
called being human
