My inner self said‘You are not worth it!’
‘Stay on the fringe.’
Outside of other’s family gatherings.
Meals shared
feeling separate
not a real participant
yet welcomed.
A watcher amid laughing families.
Children playing with happy screaming noise.
Searching for contentment without complacency.
A never ending search.
Familiar things and rituals ~ are they necessary?
Or just nice things to have?
Can nice things create a facade of contentment?
Are they mere representations of the past?
Connections to past self with
realities ~ perceptions ~ memories stirred and blended,
finally transformed into personal acceptance and joyful self worth.
“Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit.”
~ E.E.Cummings
