things i never stopped doing

if there’s one thing

that i will never stop doing

is to love myself

by learning, and trying

by loving, and losing

by falling, and standing

by flowing, and restraining

by exploring, and restoring

by forgiving, and remembering

by flying to the sky

and diving into the ocean

by taking those first steps

and running in the woods

as freely, as passionately

without fear, without doubts

like the first time I ever saw

and heard, and touched, and tasted,

and felt anything.

t.l.

p.s. i’ll fall again and again

so i will keep learning.

p.p.s. thank you for showing me things that I haven’t seen or I have but didn’t know where to look.
