stepping outside of the person you've been


and hansel said to gretel, "let us drop these breakcrumbs... so that together we find our way home. because losing our way would be the most cruel of things".
and losing your way on a journey is unfortunate. but, losing your reason for the journey... is a fate more cruel.
this year, i lost my way. sometimes i travelled alone. sometimes, there were others who took the wheel -- and took my heart. but when the destination was reached, it wasn't me who arrived... it wasn't me at all.
and once you lose yourself, you have two choices: find the person you used to be... or lose that person completely.
because, sometimes, you have to step outside of the person you've been. and remember the person you were meant to be. the person you wanted to me.
the person you are.

wow. ferris, these sound like words to describe where I've been at. so powerful. good to read it out loud and say yup. that's what it is. so good, think I'm getting ready to going back to being me.
