A World Waiting For Me

“For a long time I felt that if I didn’t get into a certain college NOW, that my daydreams wouldn’t come true. If I didn’t take on all my plans right now, that nothing would ever happen. But the truth is, if I spend my time healing, if I find a path that might not be as glamorous, but still suits me. I’m not being lazy or inactive, I’m taking my time, and the world will wait. And then, like the universe was telling me that my thoughts were true, butterflies started showing up around me. In my ideas for photos and writing, even my friends would bring them up in conversation. In the coldest, rainiest season of the year, butterflies were flying by through the city. And we don’t see many butterflies here, as it is. Everything felt perfect. “ - Zoe Burleson
