I am back. Back again.
It has been a while since I have updated you guys.
It has been a lot. But, not all in a bad way.
My jaw is healing. Im still in pain. But, it keeps me going.
I’m attending college classes while recovering from jaw surgery.
It is a lot.
But, it keeps me going.
Isn’t the definition of determination
to keep trying despite the barriers that are in your way?
Doesn’t that mean
the more obstacles I have
the more the fire burns?
Is that something that is inherently me?
Or is it something I attained?
Do I think differently than other people?
I always felt like I have
It feels alone
But, also empowering
When people assume me
I always like to prove them wrong
I’m not stupid just because I’m disabled
But I like it when people assume
So impatient
So irrational
Don’t assume, know.
Determination is like that.
Having the fire
But also the patience to
Take time to know
To wait
For time to pass
even though time isn’t real.
It’s only a thing we measure
An idea
We are often so afraid of the unknown
That we hide the truth
To stay comfortable
Is that why we made clocks
Or watches?
To make us feel like were in control?
I mean
We are.
But not in a timely manner.
Thats why I say
“If time is but a thing… continues on”
It does move. But no need to measure it
Just be in the moment
Don’t let clocks distract you
From the present
Enjoy those small moments
Lights. Sun. Dancing tree limbs like fractals waving to you.
The clouds being close to touch, yet so far.
My fire burns for these
I will keep going
If determination is the ability to keep going despite obstacles
Does that mean
The more obstacles I face
The more fire I have to keep going?
Yes.
Dear reader.
Maybe your fire is but embers.
But let this be your spark
that sets you ablaze.
