And as air enters my lungs, it feels as though I’m breathing for the first time. I fall to my knees, clear and fresh but so often taken for granted. One time, I thought I knew all there was to know, but now I see, there’s a hidden mystery in this town we live. A speck of dust among the entire universe, now I know that it’s not all for nothing. I’m holding tight to the prospect of this newfound purpose, searching for a definition, a definition for the life I lead, and the impact I shall make. The world around me searches at the base of a bottle or in between the sheets; I’m trying to look within, to read the words, the truth written on my heart. The world around me tells me to love myself and my heart screams to love others, love the world, plain and simple; Love. People. And so I trust my heart, walking blindly. Completely aimless yet set straight towards the goal. For I turned back and found the path because of trust and belief. Now I progress, with no looking back, just looking ahead. The present becomes the past before each and every move. In life it is not the past that defines us but where the next foot falls. Where are you headed? Where will your foot fall?
