I am

I am the sum of my travels.
I am the sum of my experiences.

Optimists and pessimists

Says the optimist in times of success
"My efforts came together."
and in times of failure
"External factors are to blame for this."

Says the pessimist in times of failure
"I am to blame for this."
and in times of success
"External factors came together."

Says the attentive mind:
wake; find the middle ground.

Busy

I find myself

always busy

yet I end each day thinking how little got done;

wanting change

yet I remain me all the same;

trying to pause

yet I can't help but plan my next move.

All this and

yet I know: I am where I was always destined to be

following my trail.
