How we might write for ourselves
Do I really need any of it?
Food water and shelter is all I really need.
And I don’t really want to need anything.
Perhaps in thinking about all the things I need,
I have discovered the one thing I need most is not a thing at all.
It’s a feeling.
Freedom.
“Nobody can tell me what to do”
is the phrase that has been playing over and over again in my mind.
I wish that were true.
But with freedom comes responsibility.
Maybe I will shirk mine.
Maybe I won’t.
