THIS IS US 🍋 (2016 - 2022)
there is a house built out of stone wooden floors, walls, and window sills tables and chairs worn by all of the dust this is a place where I don’t feel alone this is a place where I feel at home and I built a home, for you, for me until it disappeared, from me, from you and now, it’s time to leave and turn to dust...
I’m not gonna sit here and pretend like I know how you’re feeling, okay, because I don’t, but this whole idea of not really knowing who you really are, deep down inside, that’s my life story.
I’ll tell you what, one thing that I have learned: I don’t think we figure out exactly who we are all at once. I think it happens over a long period of time, just piece by piece. Like, take me for instance, a couple of years ago, I get close with your dad, and I find a piece of myself in that. And then I meet your aunt and I find another piece of myself. Honey, I think that’s sort of how it works, you know. I think we go through this life slowly but surely just collecting these little pieces of ourselves, that we can’t really live without, until eventually we have enough of them to where we feel whole.
Do you think that’ll happen for me?
Nah probably not, I mean you’re not that special. [laughs] Do I think it will happen for you? I know it will happen for you. Tess Pearson, you, my niece, you have so many years ahead of you to find all of your pieces.
THIS IS SO IMPORTANT
Tess… your parents are going to love you no matter what. So you should tell them.
