"and Hansel said to Gretal: let us drop these break crumbs, so that together we can find our way home, because losing our way would be the most cruel of things."
who hasn't lost their way at some point? losing your way on a journey of any kind is unfortunate. but losing your reason for the journey, is fate far more cruel. my entire life has been a journey leading me. sometimes i've traveled alone. sometimes there were others who took the wheel, and my heart. but when the destination was reached, it wasn't me who'd arrived. it wasn't me at all.
once you loose yourself, you have two choices. find the person you used to be, or lose that person completely. there are moments in our lives when we find ourselves at a crossroad, afraid, confused, without a roadmap. the choices we make in those moments can define the rest of our days. of course faced with the unknown, most of us prefer to turn around and go back. because sometimes you have to step outside the person you've been, and remember the person you were meant to be. the person you wanted to be.

declaration.
currently listening to: as is by ani difranco.
"just give up and admit you're an asshole.
you would be in some, good company.
and i think you'd find, that your friends would forgive you,
or maybe i'm just speaking for me."
I remember being in a panic one day at school when I realized I couldn't even fake being the old candice anymore. I cried for hours because so many people in my life expecting me to be a certain way was too much pressure, as if i'd been held against a wall and interrogated for hours, asked questions I couldn't quite remember the answers too anymore.
