What versions of yourself do you still want to meet?
Today’s prompt is inspired by a beautiful passage from writer, Sherry Ning:
"I want to be a dozen people before I die, each one walking away with a pocket full of life, with drawers full of postcards and fossils and candies and receipts. I want to be so full of stories that when I open my mouth, they spill out like coins, like jewels, clattering and bright…
I want to write and to be read, to be alone and to be adored, to slip away into the woods, and to sit at the head of the table. I want to feast until I am merry, to sleep until I am new, to run and return, crying tears of homecoming."
We’re allowed to be many things.
And dreaming about them doesn’t make us ungrateful, it makes us human.
