We can find a lot of things
If we look inside ourselves;
Desires to be loved
Cherished
Respected.
Also desires to dominate
Serve ourselves first
Win every argument.
Which one is the “real” us?
Or do we pick and choose
Based on what’s convenient for
Each moment?
Maybe we want to believe
In a version of ourselves
Devoid of our flaws
But alas that version
Doesn’t exist.
The real you is in process,
Still evolving
Still maturing
Still laughing at how naive
You were ten years ago.
Perhaps some aspects of life
Are best enjoyed
By simply living them
And not always trying to
Figure them out.
Ourselves included.
“The real you is still in process, still evolving, still maturing”. Love that.
