Not Enough Time in the World
Some of us were shoved out into the world with part of our egg shells stuck to our backs, not yet fully hatched. There is not enough time in the world for healing. There is not enough time in our lives to figure out what was and is being done to us; to figure out how much of it is self-victimizing and how much of it is true; or if the truth has forced us to become accustomed to being the victim. To then identify the great parts of who we are and discard the bad. To then take the bad and see how much of it is part of us. How much of it can we change when it’s the reason we have survived. To then re-define what “bad” is. There is not enough time to fix ourselves. While we are in a constant state of repair, those who were born with great families and good incomes are ruling the world.

You have seen all of these days, but not all of these dates. You have seen every day of every week, every week of every month, and every month of every year you have been alive. You have seen quite a lot in all of those days. Every day is either “today,” “tomorrow” or “yesterday” until we find something to make it more significant than that — something that sets it apart and makes it an unforgettable date, not just another day. In approximately 10 hours, the clock will tick from 11:59 to 12:00, marking the arbitrary shift from…
