The slate can be clean and it can always be wiped.
What you chose to write before can be a precursor to today. However, it is not contingent upon it. You can take your elbow or even the seams of your sweater and wipe away all things previously written. The ones that take up too much space. And as for the ones others have written for youβthose do not necessarily have value.
Rethink. Re-write.
As humans we have the capacity to change, to transform and to grow. We are not fixed beings. I think every once in a while it nice to remember that we have these qualities and that we are not victims of our lives, maybe victims of ourselves and the stories we have verbalized. However, these stories too, can be retold.
