TRUTH THURSDAYS #3: (still on) IDENTITY

I see myself rushing around maintaining
and
preparing
for what “will happen next”
and the worries that go along with it
getting ready for life– not being in life
it seems we start so young with the
getupdresswasheatworkundressbath routine
we “grow up” too fast.
if we stop there are so many
worries of what could happen
will I lose the connection?
will i be replaced?
will i be forgotten?
it is exhausting- gripping
onto too much!
I am reminded of May Sarton’s writing
in Journal of a Solitude
“Immitate the trees”
Let go. cut off the excess… prune
wait. watch. grow deep
and high to
see the sea.

Hey! It’s the third Truth Thursday already! So sorry the posting of this question is super late, i just got home an hour ago. anyways… for the sake of the people who are just getting on board with our fabulous Thursday habit:

Remember, you don’t have to directly answer the question, you could just be “inspired” by it. but better if you do directly address the prompt/question. remember the mechanics:

1. Every Thursday, i will post a question or a prompt on this blog and participants will write something that answers the question or was inspired by it. (or post pictures or artworks!)
2. Participants who wrote something for that Thursday must leave a link on the comment box of that day’s prompt to let people know that they have posted.
3. TRUTH THURSDAY must be on the Title of your entry, followed by the question (so people will know).
4. This does not have to be emo– although these things tend to be a bit on the emo side, but TRUTH THURSDAYS are meant to be a fun way to bond through blog, and to get people writing and posting something meaningful and real. (disclaimer: this isn’t to say that you’re not doing so already!)
5. No pressure. Just be inspired and post something!
6. Be TRUTHFUL!

ok. here’s the next one:

My worries today:
