I Don’t Live There Anymore
I found this place by accident.. Maybe it was not an accident. Maybe some part of me already knew the building was there. The building is a brick structure, standing alone in the middle of water. It is not broken. It is not destroyed. It is just left behind. The doors of the building were open. They did not welcome anyone. They just existed, like eyes that had stopped expecting something to return. I stood there for a while looking at the building.. The strange thing was. The building did not feel unfamiliar to me. The building felt personal to me. The building reminded me of a version of myself that I no longer visit. There was a time when I was different. When my mind was louder my dreams were simpler. My heart did not carry the weight it does now. Then I believed things would stay. People would stay. I would stay the same. Life does not ask for permission before it changes you. Slowly without any announcement you move forward. You build thoughts, new goals, new defenses....
