Yes, it’s a bright shining morning
Hoping you wake up to the fresh smell of wind
Once as a kid, it was all that gave me comfort
As I walked down the halls
I was no longer afraid to fall
Not in the darkness, not in the unknown
I then grew up, everything changed
The way I wore my clothes
to my favorite tv show
What didn’t change was the smell of the wind and my stubbornness
Not tying my shoelaces because of how confident I was I wouldn’t fall and I never did.
I would fall indeed but not with what I had brought with me instead,
It was with what was put in front of me.
I would trip on the cracks that I would walk into because I no longer payed attention to what I was walking into as my parents would remind me to do so
I then grew up again , everything changed
Each year that passes by
I still make up an excuse to not tie my shoes
It’s not that I don’t want to bend down and tie them
It’s because I still carried that same confidence with me as I did as a kid
This time I knew the reason why I could move forward without being scared to fall
If I did one day fall
It’s not because I didn’t want to
It’s because I chose to take the risk
Your path won’t always be clear
Neither would your mind
You might not know what to do in such a moment
That’s okay, your heart will know it
It will help guide you to the direction you need
I guess what I’m trying to say is it’s okay to know and to not know how this year and the next few years will go
How you will continue to grow and find the real you, despite what anyone says you know yourself the best.
You will achieve what you would like to achieve
The thoughts that may be circulating your mind today
One day will be taken out into the world
and be taken care of
Things will unravel themselves with time
Don’t rush but know when it’s time to move on
I wish you to receive all the wonderful things this mysterious world will offer you
To strengthen your strength
To find ways to get to the places you want to go To never change once you’ve unlocked your true potential
To always remember, you were born to be here
Happy 22nd birthday my precious-human 👩🏻❤️👨🏻
