Life is not a pencil. The eraser is an illusion. Life is a chalkboard. You can erase it and start over. But as you do, you’ll note that the residue of what preceded your newly scribbled life and words leaves a residue. That’s all it is, a reminder. It’s okay to reinvent yourself and abandon all your old routines if they no longer work for you. To put it more accurately, for you to recognize that they don’t. We find comfort in the familiar, even if the familiarity contains pain. We forget that we are not our routines and habits. Erase the board if you can. And use colored chalk this time around while you’re at it.

Love,X
