Sometimes, I remind me...of my old self. The me before the bills, the relationship, the job. When I catch a glimpse of the old me, it takes me back to the time and place where I was naive enough to think life would always be this way.

This morning, I was choked up as I drove to my destination...my j.o.b. I was listening to Jill Scott talk about how she keeps on moving, keeps on living, keeps on dreaming, keeps on achieving...and I thought, wow. That used to be me. Still is, to some degree. I just get so busy with working for other people's goals that sometimes I forget to pursue my own.

When I saw the image of me when I was carefree...I took a quick breath...as if holding my breath would hold that moment in my mind for just a bit of time. Sadness tried to creep in at the thought of that girl who was now only within...me...but I didn't let it. I just remembered that the girl I saw...in my mind...was still me...and I just have to remind myself more often...of who she could be.

Peace, ya'll.
