"history, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again." -Maya Angelou


I tapped into the stars to see

If they could give me a clue of who I should be

What path I should go down,

which song should I sing,

which way I should go at the end of Theseus' string.

Despite my knowing my attempts would be futile,

I questioned the stars,

following them for miles.

Their answer was silent,

that at first I did not see,

for when the day broke in the stars abandoned me.

Their silent answer was this:

Do what gives you bliss.

Do what you love,

love what you do,

you will go down the right path

as long as you are you.

Thank you so much. I have needed some encouragement lately.

That is so truthful. I can totally relate and I think that despite all what we go through, sometimes just knowing that there's someone out there who can understand how we're feeling somehow makes us feel a bit less lonely. Just know that whenever you feel alone, remember that we're all together too at that particular moment. Thank you for sharing this ^_^
