I'm sitting in the cold. Alone. As the sky gets darker, rain prepares to fall and leaves turn over in hiding. The wind is blowing my hair in every direction. I'm shivering and I'm hurting. But something is comforting me. Something about hurting is safe.
I've always felt better outside, in the fresh air and in silence where I have space to think. I've always felt better in the cold. It keeps me grounded.
So I'm sitting here, in the cold, wishing things had happened differently than they always seem to. Asking myself, why does it seem like I can't figure out forever? How to find forever? I know what it means, but it seems so foreign.. so unattainable. I've moved around since year one. constant things in my life are few and far between. Maybe that's why I can't seem to figure it out.
I know forever isn't something you have to think about in high school. Everyone is changing, everything is so influenced by media and people are finding themselves. But I feel like I know who I am. I am honest, I'm blunt, and I like me.
Everything in my life is forever changing. Houses, neighbours, schools, coaches, siblings, animals, cities.
Maybe that's why forever seems so difficult, so impossible, so imaginary.
