Solo Explorer

You will never be fully not alone.

The sooner you accept this fact, the better.

There’s just no way you can share it all,

to pour every inch of your soul,

to sketch every second of your story,

to make your whole self transparent

and then transfer it to someone else.

Even if this was somehow possible,

you will not be able to find someone capable of absorbing

and lugging it all.

Even the most loving and selfless being in the world,

even someone with the genuine will to do so,

could not do it.

And that's fine, that’s not the point anyway.

You and only you will funnel your entirety.

You yourself are in a constant journey of

getting to know yourself,

learning to love

and taking care of yourself.

Growth comes from that

and with growth:

A new you.

Now, you have to re-learn it all

for this new version of you.

This cycle starts over and over,

it goes on incessantly.

So, fall in love with the solo trip babe.

Share what and if you want and desire.

But mostly,

give yourself time,

time to smoke your cigar,

(or whatever brings you joy)

and wander…

Wander those lonely night streets

Of your mind.
