Do. Do your part. Make it even.
There's what I give to the world and there's what the world gives me.
Make it even.
What my child brings to the world is forever unmatched, but I must try to give it all, in every way, with every talent, every breath, every embrace, every choice, every laugh, every gaze, every working hour. Never hide. Never run. Never break. Never be anyone but myself. Never think about any of this. Never believe that I have to say never. Always live as if I were forever. Forever be anew. Hold onto nothing and hold on always. Give it all to enjoy what can only be lived once and do it with the lightheartedness of knowing so. Make no compromise, be faster, stronger, more human, more and more and more than anybody who doesn't give me enough to be myself but still takes from me, and if I am lucky, it will get better and better and the scale will be even and people will stop taking without giving. They will quiet.
Sssh. Be quiet, world. Listen, from the first breath, and always since.
Don't tell me what to do. What to expect. How to live. How to be me.
Do. Do your part.
Make it even.
