Silly, there are no do-overs

If today is all I have, why would I waste it?

If today is all there is, why wouldn't I dream?

If after today there is no tomorrow, will I be satisfied?

Did you laugh at your own jokes?

Did you light up when you saw your reflection in the mirror?

Did you speak kindly to yourself as you tripped on your own feet?

You are a light that guides people home.

But the light cannot lead when the windows are drawn.

So open those eyes, show your teeth.

Your foundation is made of love, belonging, awkwardness, kindness and truth.

Not even the big bad wolf can get you now.

Are you a house of cards or a brick castle?
