week #8: ownership

What is it that feels just right to me? Well, since I no longer live in the same state where I grew up nor do I have a childhood home to return to, I chose to focus this entry on the one thing I own no matter where I go or what happens to me…my spirit. I’ve realized that I can let go of my hopes, have my dreams shattered in the blink of an eye…but my spirit will never leave me. No one can take it from me because no one gave it to me. It’s the one thing that I have that is all mine…mine to nurture, to cherish and to rely upon. It is the driving force inside of me that guides me through the toughest of times and darkest of days…it is the essence of me.
