This piece sits with the conflicted feelings of watching yourself age — the grief, the beauty, the gratitude for still being here when so many aren’t. It moves through the quiet death of the dreams I once held in my 20s, and into the strange power of surrender — the kind that doesn’t look empowering at first, but somehow opens the door to reality. To clarify. To the wildest dreams I never saw coming. A spoken word offering for anyone moving through time with their eyes open.

Transcript

With each new line increase I grieve the dreams of my 20s that felt so much like promises,

Changing in color and shape as I move through day after day.

I love so many pasts that I know indefinitely that to age is the highest honor and I will wear it proudly.

I have laughed violently,

Cried even more violently.

I have seen endless seas of beautiful faces and places and shapes and things.

My heart still sits somewhere and everywhere I've gone.

Those big dreams sitting like seeds in places I have yet to see still.

Call me delusional but I still believe in every wild thing I've ever wanted to achieve.

I see and feel it all coming to me now,

Knowing even that they've unraveled somewhere already,

Beyond our concept of time and space.

An amazing way to describe life. Hills, valley, joy, pain, grief, gratitude and the absolute honor to still be here as I age. Thank you Adriana.
