I was made for
Good books and good coffee,
Rainy days, thunderstorms and autumn weather,
I was made for the moon and quiet nights.
I was made to
Be a daughter and a sister,
A cousin, a niece and a friend.
To maybe one day be a wife and a mother.
I was made to
Love, to have empathy and compassion, to listen and to learn.
I was made to help others feel less alone.
I was made to survive.
I was made for
The clouds and the sky,
For cats and their love, for music and live shows and the arts.
I was made for writing and dancing and travelling.
I may not be this person yet but these are the reasons why I have decided, on several occasions, to stay.
I stay so that I can become that person, experience these things and live.
