A poem about the evolving me

My curiosity, ambition and ability to be water led me here – To unexpected places, to scenes that go beyond my wildest imagination. And I’m grateful for this.

But a big knock said “It is time to solidify your soul and use your superpower of being water only from time to time.”

I agreed. Thinking what’s the point of being Superman, if he cannot be Clark Kent?

Being true to myself is a path to success.

So I wrote to my older version “If we were to meet in a sentence in time, it would be: 2 souls who seek control over everything, you have your story and I have mine.”

On my journey, I met a friend called vulnerability. In the beginning i had no hope about us becoming  close. But all the new places that I was hanging out, she was also there.  So I said to myself: if she likes the same things as me, maybe I could make an effort for our relationship to evolve. 

Over time, she introduced me to unique experiences I strangely enjoyed. She taught me that my need for control and managing the unmanageable was the craziest thing I ever attempted.

Her favorite saying is: Whatever you try not to feel, you have to feel at some point. Be brave, you won’t regret it! Those who don’t go through the hell of their feelings, don’t overcome them.”

The path I’ve chosen has left my controlling tendencies behind. Sometimes, I look back and miss those simpler times. I would like to give her the pin I bought in Camden Town saying I want to KI _ _ you.

In case we meet again I would like to ask her. Can you describe a life without feelings? Because I certainly can’t.
