Truly Mine?
What can you say is truly yours?
Ya know, as sad as it sounds, I’m not sure that very much is truly mine. I’ve got my guitar and that’s about it.
There are things that I’d like to think are truly mine in various ways. Reena and Maia because I love them. My parents, especially since I am an only child ~ extremely uncommon in Italian-American families. My job possibly.
But in the long run, those things are all tenuous and so tied to other things of the world. I think everyone who lives in New York really understands how fragile life and the things that connect us are.
I guess if I get right down to it, the only thing that really is truly mine is my sense of who I am both as a human and as a lesbian ~ not that I separate the two. I mean, yes, those have been shaped by other people, but they’ve been combined with my experiences to become my own sense of who I am.
I guess ultimately that’s all any of us really truly own.
