Food For Thought

Someone told me today that I'm just a big girl, "emphasis on girl". When I asked him how a girl becomes a woman, he said when she stops liking boys.

At first, I was offended, but I knew that he was right. I am just a girl. I haven't matured fully yet; I still have a lot to learn, especially in how to control my emotions. Maybe, I purposely like immature boys because I know I'm not ready to settle down yet, another one of many ways I sabotage myself.

We open doors,
close doors,
pass through doors,
and reach at the end of our only journey
no city,
no harbour-
the train derails,
the ship sinks
the plane crashes.
The map is drawn on ice.
But if I could
begin this journey all over again,
I would.
