MAYBE YOU WERE MADE FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS?

Updated: Jan 17




Who knows if perhaps you were made queen for such a time like this. - Esther 4:14


I think about timing a lot.

How random and specific it all is.

I think about how you never see it come, yet we always want it to come.

In this moment, everything is all up in the air and then in a couple of minutes, seconds, everything falls into place.

Timing is magic.

Stay alive long enough to find that out. That you were made for such a time like this.

Cynicism

Choosing to be cynical will always be easy. But choosing to be hopeful will let you experience life’s joys that were made for you. Choosing to pretend that joy is a myth will save you from ever having your joy stolen in a second. But it will keep you from being able to discover that while it rains, you can dance in the rain too.

Walls

My friend built a wall to protect her heart. “No one gets hurt this way,” she laughed.

But the other unspoken truth dawned on us. “No one also really gets loved this way too.”


*************************

You are not lost, you are here, darling.

I am lost.

I don't know where to go.

What road to take, and what way to turn.

I was so prepared to take the long road home

To stop at every sign, and laugh under the lights

But I am scared I will never find my way back

Back to the person I was meant to be.

Flowers on the moon


Dances parties in space

Flowers on the moon

Summer nights fade into the blue of my universe

Movies to elude

The voices in my head are

The echoes of their screams

Of what I’m meant to be.

I am nothing they want, but everything I need to be in the moment

Maybe you were made for such a time as this?

Solitude.

The best thinking has been done in solitude - Thomas A. Edison.


I had someone who understood my mind,

I had someone who carved the lines in my mind with chalk

And loved me through every bit of the labyrinth.

I had a friend in you.

I had a prayer that said everything I wanted.

I had a home before I let life whisk me away.

I had faith in us.

I wanna say I lost it all

And everything felt meaningless.

But I gained so much more.

I only saw it when I stood at the end by myself.
