I’ve given up a lot of things for love.
A few I have rid on purpose.

But there are things that I never realized I gave up until I no longer wanted them.
In a life where the only things you have are the things you’ve found and taken,
When do you decide they aren’t worth your time anymore.

I want to hold on to the beautiful memories I have given myself over the years.
But the world changes, we all know that. Sun sets and the past grows longer.

Now I am fully immersed in a world I’ve wanted since a wee one.
The nights under the lights; the days under the scope.
I spill my passion on paper and hope others read into it to see the dirt that clogs my veins.

However, now that is expected of me. To show up and bare my chest, show my skeletons to the world while others reap the benefits of riding on this heart.

I never thought I’d be here, but now my life is going in a direction where I may never have the chance to pour my heart out in this lens again.

It’s silly how unimportant the world seems when you are watching your heart change priorities.
