    TRAVEL BAG FOR THE FREE SPIRITED ADVENTURE SEEKER ๐ŸŒฟ
    I basically put my life philosophy on the lightest most needed travel bag in a warm, olive green color, mostly because I wanted this for myself but also because the design turned out so amazing (can I say that about my design?) that I decided to create some more, since I have so many free spirited wandering adventure seeking souls with me on my journey (longest sentence in history!) ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒฟ

        5am
        again,
        drunk on someone elseโ€™s love,
        or couch,
        and Iโ€™ve never felt more at home.

        โ€‹

        I fled myself,
        from the life Iโ€™ve built
        because Iโ€™ve been inhabiting routines I donโ€™t want to stand for.

        Inhabiting skin Iโ€™d rather shed
        but still took on
        like a soldier serving his country,
        for thatโ€™s what they told me to do.
        But I was not
        strong
        or wise,
        but young and foolish,
        for what is this thing? Trading passions for a tiny bit of acceptance,

        and I am not a Sunday morning inside four walls
        with clean blood
        and organised drawers.
        I am the hurricane setting fire to the forests
        at night when no one else is alive,
        or awake,
        however you choose to see it,
        and I live in my own flames.
        Sometimes burning too bright and too wild
        to make things last 
        or handle
        myself or anyone else
        and so I run.
        Run run run,
        far and wide
        until my bones ache and lungs split
        and it feels good.
        Hear that, people? It feels good,
        because I am the slave and ruler of my own body
        and I wish to do with it exactly as I please,
        and living in this skin is hard and painful, most of the times,

        because I never volunteered to take this on.

        The daily sacrifice of heart over mind,
        the forever on going task of explaining this and that,
        and why I donโ€™t want to look like this and
        be like that
        but still here I am and if this is the body Iโ€™ve been given Iโ€™m sure as hell gonna make it work.
        If this is the place Iโ€™ve been given, Iโ€™m sure as hell gonna make this work.

        โ€‹

        So I fled the me that was never really me and Iโ€™m on my way. To newer lands and uncleaned streets
        for Iโ€™ve had enough of childish safety in comfort.
        Enough of all telling me to look and do, like this and that,

        and I never meant to please anyone but myself
        and you can call me selfish,
        throw words like knives in the dark but I will not listen,
        for not listening to sharp words brought me to where I am today
        and I believe in the path Iโ€™ve been given. If my only task in this life is to walk it,
        I surely will walk it
        prouder than anyone else.

        โ€‹

        If this is the path Iโ€™ve been given, I will walk it
        prouder than anyone else,
        for no one else can.
