Path 10: Insertion
Healing through completion
It’s not that I am nothing
or, was nothing
without this piece I found.
Looking back
I feel I was less
still not nothing.
If I were void
how could you possibly belong?
What empty space would you fill in my meaningful whole?
The way you have complimented my previous form
created a new existence in the present.
That is my proof.
And yet, it is hard to imagine my current form as
fragmented
shattered, but spliced together like a collage of things
made broken.
I regret nothing.
I couldn’t be as I am without you.
I couldn’t
be.
Logically, you could just have been a relatively delayed destiny
a right to existence.

A multiracial gay med student/writer and NYC native. I believe identity is something that is creatively built, discovered, shared, and transformed, and healing can come from that.

Finding Contentment
Peace. The view from their coastal villa brought them peace. From their first visit, that sleepy seaside town had become important to them. It was intertwined into their lives and served as a tranquil bookmark, a serene highlighter for the many difficulties they have experienced throughout their life together.
