from what i've tasted of desire, i hold with those who favor fire

a lot has been going through my head lately.
past lovers. lost friends. new family.
those who i leave behind, and those who i start a new life with.
the mistakes i've made, the path i've taken, the trial along the way.
nothing that was ever worth it was ever obtained easily.

we're holding on. it's beautiful. i've found a reason for me. to keep going, keep growing, keep holding on. every day is a new adventure, a new challenge, a new existence. we are brave and we are bold. we wave goodbye to those who call us fools, and sail off into the horizon as champions of what once was lost, abandoned, forsaken.

i have never been so certain of where i want to be, yet so uncertain of what i will do.

i have come to accept that the majority of people who i wish could understand never will. and that's okay. it's time to be proud of who i am, the person i've decided to be. these choices are my own and i am happy with them.

i think a lot about so many things. i have a lot of worries to cover at this particular time. but i know if i keep pushing forward i will make it somehow. now that i have what i always wanted most, the rest won't be so scary.

all my love,
Heather
