Since May.25th I have been stripped which is okay but I can only go so long, I can only take so much. I am only one person. I have done good and nobody around me has had such in intimate relationship with strength then I. So I haven't had a bed, I know its just stuff but nothing feels more lonely then to not have a place of your own. It's been long enough.
Thank goodness the ticket to move to Manhattan has been booked for Oct.24th. I paint a lovely picture of my new room. A creative fresh and clean space of my own filled with my own things in their perfect little place. My place, my home. I know exactly what it's going to look like I paint this picture everyday in my mind. That's how I know things are getting better. I'm seeing a light at the end of the tunnel, my journey is taking me to something great. I already did great things with the months in Minnesota. I have seen 75 live shows, got my vision for the project, and put myself back together. So maybe I don't have a bed right now but soon enough I will. So I don't have a space of my own but in a few weeks I will.
I never knew of my patience even though I'm at the last little bit of it. I never knew of strength until I held my head up high and kept walking. I never knew of courage until I left something that wasn't right. I didn't know trust until I found it in myself and no-one knows real love until they have loved themselves first.
If all I need is a bed and space I think I have done well considering my last year. The most remarkable thing of all is that I didn't walk away from this with anger, distrust or an unwillingness to forgive and that my friends is a beautiful way to be.
I'm ready to have my space, my home and a bed to lay my head down at night. And it doesn't hurt that it will be in the greatest city in the world!
