Legacy.


I think about all the places I’ve left and all the places I’m going.

and how every little thing that I leave behind is something to someone.

The topic of legacy has been brought up a lot recently, and I get nervous that even though I feel like I've been standing still, I have been moving around from place to place, leaving my life in empty coffee cups and crumpled up papers of words I should have probably finished, but lost inspiration to do so.

I look around at the people that enrich my life with laughter and love and I think about all the people that I would have said that about a few years ago. So many things have changed, and yet I’ve been writing about looking for an even bigger one. Life around me is no longer who I was or what I used to stand for. I am a new me, in the same skin with the same insecurities with a little more confidence and a few more stories.

I am about to embark on the scariest most brave adventure I have ever put myself in.

Im leaving the comfort of what I’ve known. Im leaving knowing where the best coffee shop is and where the best place to watch the sunset resides. Im giving up being five minutes away from my best friend and giving up those spots that I only know. There is no more, “oh I used to go there when i was little” I am going to be in an entirely new place with entirely new people. I am going to have to christen a new coffee shop with endless amount of rewrites and stained drafts of things I should probably finish, but lost inspiration for. I am going to find a new place thats mine, for those nights when everything is moving just a little too fast for my liking. I am going to be way out of comfort zone and hopefully it'll force me to be the person I have always wanted to be. Someone who doesn’t think about whats next, but enjoys the little moments and those sunsets with good people and soaks up every part of this life, that I am slowly dying in.

We all leave behind something whether it be the way not to act or the someone to look up to.

My legacy is to show people that every story is different, and I don’t want to be your role model, I want people to think of me and say, she lived life, for bad or worse and she's got a lot to show for it. I want that, I want people to make there own mistakes and love them, own them, use them and benefit from being exactly who they are exactly when they're supposed to be.
