The Coming and Going of Growing Up

I never knew how much I’d come and go,

When I started to grow up, get older.

I guess I thought it would happen slow,

But instead I have burdened shoulders.

Because as I step out into the world,

I’m stepping away from some things I had.

What I love is spread across expanse,

And my thoughts fill more than one notepad.

Life and home are in multiple places,

“Writer's block — so what? Write something bad. Just throw it in the trash can when you're done, you're always improving. That kind of writing is like doing a bunch of push-ups. Every individual push-up is not the important thing. On Tuesday you're going to think, "Is it really important that I do it today?" No, but the collective impact is. If you write every day, you will improve.”
― N.D. Wilson
