you spend a lot of time and money in your youth asking
who am i
what is this
what the fuck!!!
it feels like all i can write about sometimes
and it feels deep as shit u know?
not original, but deep.
enough to roll my eyes at my own self
we listen to others and idols make definitive statements
those turn into quotations.
theyve got it all figured out.
theyve got the key to the secret club
i was going to write another “who am i” thing today
but its indulgent at this point
i dont believe in knowing
and deciding what you believe in is a big part of it
who you end up being is usually in the hands of others anyway
they make those decisions before you’re born and after youre dead
especially at those times actually
i think Barbie’s mantra of “you can be anything” means something a lot different to me now than it did at 7
then it was i can be an astronaut or a mommy or a lifeguard or all of those things combined
astro-guard-mom
but now i see it different
it says to me
it doesnt matter “who am i”
it matters that i can stop worrying about if who she is is right
and just be
because you can be anything
quit being obsessed with the secret club of the all knowing
those people who knew,
they were obsessed with creating themselves
not finding out
or who the hell knows
maybe they cared just as much as the rest of us
and thats what made them great
well this is a wash
enjoy this photo of some people I know
not worrying
just doing
right on.
