32. • My book, “Taste Life Twice” is available for order through the link in my bio. • • Today marks my 32nd journey Around the sun. I would like to relay all of the wisdom I’ve accrued during this voyage, But all I can say Is that I continue to experience The bounty of my ignorance And the depths of my curiosity In equal measure. • There was a time I believed That one would bridge the other, But it appears that the more you know, The more you don’t. What was once a fear Of never knowing it all Has become something I am in awe of. The less I know, it appears, Mirrors the more I know. • I have lived in three countries And I have traveled to fifty; In each country I was presented With a new self to absorb into My self-understanding. I have come to terms with the fact That perhaps I will never know All there is to know about myself. • I have learned that I can not control Who I love, But I can control who I let into my life. Sometimes, they are not One and the same. Sometimes the application of distance Is an act of grace. • I have learned that being a good girl And being a good person Are not the same thing; The former will diminish me While the latter will liberate me. • I do not want to be a good girl. I do not want to be held to a different standard Imposed on my by patriarchal norms Simply because of my gender. I want to be strong. I want to be assertive. I want experience. I want adventure. I want freedom. • •• #poetry #poetryporn #poetryofinstagram #poetsociety #poet #poetrybooks #poetryporn #poetryislife #writingprompts #writings #writers #writerscommunity #writer #yoga #yogalove #bookshelf #bookstoread #travel #forgiveness #couples #abudhabi #dubai #wandern #wanderlove #wandering #wanderlust #travelblogger #love #loveislove #lovequotes https://www.instagram.com/p/Byjo1h7gSDU/?igshid=1v5nmn7m3tl0s
