You're an Actor
But there's no camera that captures your performance.
You pretend, every day.
To be unaffected by chaos, while your wrinkled fingers choose careful letters on a medievally muddled keyboard, brushing manipulations to survive the multicolored collar battle.
You anticipate, every day.
That develops your mannerisms, constructing nuances for the many characters you face; to swim, fly or ride on momentarily sentimental experiences. From names, people, animals or things. That childlike game.
You hoard, every day.
Assumptions, situations, and compulsions. To use it, at someone, when the time comes.
But,
there is no award, audience or acceptance.
There is no critique, condemnation, or contempt.
There is no greatness in the wins, there is no cowardice in the losses.
There is only balance.
You may have a sob story to tell, but you do not have a stage.
You may be bloated with happiness, but there's no one to speculate.
No one knows, no one remembers. Because no one's aware.
You are the lead, you are the supporting, you are the villain.
It is in parts. It's in phases.
To your surprise, there is a lens, quite invisible that stores every bit as memories. Beware, you've been watched. By yourself.
Love & Blessings,
NB

Me myself can be my biggest supporter.. No filters no checks, just my faith in myself. Thank You for writing this.🌻🙌
When you become aware that it's you, no one else who is responsible for your happiness. When you understand that owning every moment as your last is a blessing and that not taking anything for granted allows you to bring back the sense of wonder that is lost when we grow up, you start living. Really enjoyed your reflection.
