stepping in

leaves, in the rainwhite flowers

I distinctly remember the moment when I was little when I felt like I needed to make an important decision. Was I young enough to continue being taken care of like a child, or was I old enough to start taking care of others?

I wasn't asking when I would be old enough to start taking care of myself.

That was then.

  2. Don't be nervous and confused! The way I see it, you just have to be like your own parent watching out for yourself!
