How About
I have done everything.
I have survived the harshest winters, braved the fiercest jungles, and fought the most heroic battles.
You have too.
You looked to your friend, your eyes gleaming with secret possibilities. Taking a breath, exhaling your newest plot twist, a hidden magic, or a powerful talisman.
“How about I Am…”
But you never were asking for permission. You were simply weaving a story.
“How about I Can…”
But you already could. You were simply speaking a truth.
I have done everything.
I have lived a thousand lives in a thousand worlds.
You have too.
Dearest Friend, look around. There are glimmers of magic all around. Take a breath.
Watch the trees become a roof and the soil become the richest chocolate.
Watch your arms, Dearest Friend, for they are your strongest wings. Tell me who you are and what you can do.
We must hurry, it’s a school night.
