Scar or no scar
Who ever thought?
Him: You sound happy.
Her: I think I'm finally fine with everything.
You're right, this may just be that one thing that will scar me for life. As we get older, we give up on the fairytale, you know. That there's this one thing that will save us. Make us whole like all those stories have led us to believe. I still think of that Shakespeare in Love quote where Viola passionately exclaims:
I will have poetry in my life, and adventure, and love, love above all...Love that overthrows life, unbiddable, ungovernable like a riot in the heart and nothing to be done, come ruin or rapture.
I find it amazing how this used to be one of my guiding principles and now when I hear myself thinking about this line in my head, I quickly put a lid on it. The way you'd tell a little kid to keep quiet because you're watching something and there's.. you know, something far more important occurring in the world.
Like war, poverty, or the latest corporate merger.
Matters of consequence, said the Little Prince
I will keep having poetry in my life and.. I will really just take a leap of faith on this one. Scar or no scar.
In the end, everything will be okay.
If it's not okay, then it's not the end.
