I remember when I started my blog in 2011. Fifteen years!!!!! Fifteen years have flown by, and it’s been a beautiful, worthwhile journey. I remember being in Los Angeles, and getting to a point where I couldn’t stand being there. There was a heaviness upon my shoulders back then that was sucking the life and joy out of me. Fast forward to now, I feel light enough to float in happiness. Home is where the heart is, and I’m truly at home. I’m where I’m meant to be. I published my poem Forever on July 30, 2011, when I knew I was definitely moving back to New York for good. I know nothing is forever. Forever with this poem means seizing time and making it mine. Forever means making the most out of the time one has. I wonder what my journey will look like in another fifteen years?
I love Forever
Because Forever pushes me forward.
Helps me go where I need to go.
Helps me soar when I need to fly.
Forever is more than a friend.
Forever is like a savior
That has caught me upon falling.
Is the giver of a second chance.
Forever doesn’t care about mistakes
That I make, or even repeat.
With Forever, I can be me.
With Forever, I can be free.
Forever is like destiny I can hold
Right in my hand.
And upon opening them,
I unleash a world of possibilities.
Blockades of a dream are unheard of.
Forever will never allow it.
I feel like all I have is Forever
And I will not waste precious time.
