So many people seem to know who they are, at least pretend they do. I only know what I could’ve been, what I was and meant to be. And all I can pretend to do is know what I want to become.

I cannot choose my fate.
Which is such a great shame.
I want everything, so I will have nothing,
I want to be all, so I will be very little.
Because I cannot choose.

Please don’t expect me to always be good and kind and loving. There are times when I will be cold and thoughtless and hard to understand.

You told me to search for a home
But you never told me yours didn’t have a fireplace, that yours was ruins, that I ruined it. I search amidst the ashes and find only my own fervors.
