Changing

Just be yourself
that’s what they say
but what if you don’t like you
is it okay to change?

I’d like to be more considerate
give more energy
be a better me

Are we still we
if we go down that road
is us still us
if we keep changing
keep improving, keep moving
nothing remains the same

When the images are fading
can we keep the frame?

I wrote this while I was staying at the coast in Ecuador. I was volunteering but still had a lot of free time, which ultimately lead to a lot of reflection-time. At this moment, it was about 4 month after I left home to explore the world. A lot changes once you have the freedom and time to really sit with yourself and figure out what you really want in life. But are we actually ready for these changes?
