Today I watched a movie about a 9 year old who didn’t like to make decision unless he knew how it would change his life.
In this film I thought about myself
Naturally
And the unnatural parts about me
Like
And this is no joke
Sometimes I think I see the future
I use to say I could either see myself dying really young or really old and there was never any in between
I’ve seen my life with a boy
I’ve seen our family
I’ve seen the Christmas card
I’ve seen us taking over the world
I’ve seen myself with another boy
And us rocking in chairs together
Us laying in bed as the kids ran up and down the halls
I’ve seen us holding hands over breakfast
And bickering before bed
I’ve seen a life where I’m with a women
And she makes me the happiest I’ve ever been in my entire life
Never is there a moment that we don’t see the brighter side of things
We live in California I think
Because every time I think of us it’s always so sunny
Sometimes I see myself alone
I have a cat
And I mostly wear simple blacks and Denim
I work hard
My home has few plants
I get so much accomplished and I am really successful
But I’m alone
I’ve seen a life where I die at 27
With a white lighter in my hand
I lived an artsy life
I had enough stories for everyone to talk about st the funeral
But I was never truly myself
I was drowning in my obsession of chasing happiness
And one day I don’t make it
I’ve seen myself jump from many ledges
Crash the same car over and over
Crash someone else car
I’ve seen myself as an old lady who lives at the end of the culd es sac
I bake pies
And give piano lessons
I wave at the kids who board the bus for school
It’s actually just the house at the end of my block now
I’ve seen myself many different ways but which one is right
I don’t think I’ve decided yet
Sometimes I’ve seen myself on a path
And I know I could choose it
It’s clear as day what that life would be
But something says no
Something says this isn’t meant for me
And I listen
And I turn away
I may be left in known
But it’s my life to discover
I’ll figure it out
And each choice I make is always the right one
Even the choices I didn’t make
They were right too
Just for a different me
Or a me that doesn’t know it’s me
And sometimes
Things I didn’t choose now just weren’t meant for this moment
We can’t go back
Nothing with ever be the same
And time will always move forward regardless if we’re pushing it or standing still and it’s passing by
But whatever is meant to be will be
If I said no today maybe tomorrow it’ll be
If I said goodbye last week maybe in the next twenty years I’ll be ready for our next hello
Maybe I made a decision that made it easier for someone else to make another decision
Maybe I oberlooked something for someone else to find
Maybe I’m not the me I want to be
Maybe the me I didn’t choose is still waiting for me to discover her
Or them
Or him
But the me I am is the me I was meant to be
The me I will be was always meant for me
I’ll get there
Because I am me
I am me
I am
I

I’ve been working with the Bearded Ladies Cabaret for the last two months and it’s allowed me to re-come out. Or just accept that I’m accepted everywhere I go. And the people who see me see me, and love me .
Galaxies sparkle
They dance and shimmer
Slide and skate
Stars beam across worlds
Sharing their light
Their energy
Moving constantly
Somersaulting through voids of space
Like a child
Like a breeze
Like water
But it’s light
Energy
Felt but not seen
Corrupting darkness
Emulating
Illuminating
Exuding
Preciousness
The fragility and strength of that energy
Can build and destroy
Light that gives warmth to dust
Dust under pressure form rocks
Through manipulation
Intricate timing
And chance
Galaxies bear the the constant pleasure and pain of life.
