Dear Unsealers.
My best moment of 2024 is the minute I joined this community!
The pen in my hand, it felt like the emergency chain
A force to pause and pull the halting brakes
To tether and slow a speeding freight train.
A train of thoughts and many words
Few forgotten , many told while some left unsaid.
A train of wayward, wandering feelings
Leaving deep tracks as they ran through my heavy head.
The locomotive of endless emotions
Left me feeling constantly derailed
Quick to overthink and read in between the lines
I had failed to slow down
Choosing not to stop and read the caution signs.
I needed to halt
To lessen the pace
In my passing through life
A life that I was less living and more running a race.
Now I write to slow my mind
For in my words, it is a serene stillness I find.
My words are my maps
A compass to my joys, my feelings, my fears.
My guide to navigate through the laughs and tears.
A life to be travelled in tiny fleeting minutes
And not to speed as if we were to reach a thousand years.
