How do we grow up without disappearing?
I think I’m afraid of getting older —
not out of fear of death,
but of slowly losing my creativity to the mundane.
of waking to the same blaring alarm at 7 A.M.,
spending my days answering email after email after email after email,
unknowingly shelving the parts of myself
that once stayed up all night just to make something — to be something.
forgetting my Power,
my Greatness,
my Uniqueness,
beneath this thick veil
of a dreary routine.
