Take It Slow
enjoy the ride
Growth. Vines and turtle.
Not end, but getting there counts.
Less is more. Girdle.

We'z Walking on a Path Ruled By Numbers
This road has felt endless, yet limited; every step tracked. Inching away along this path, I feel trapped. Confined. Left to this narrow passage that may one day amount to something greater. Time is not a concept. Only distance. From start to finish, I laugh and cry and attempt to convince myself that this is worth it. I cannot stray. I must keep going. Every step etched, is a step taken, is measured as more than before. I cannot even recall how I got here. Maybe I don’t even really exist. Just another tick marking off a perceived presence. Of what though? I am just another line drawn. Nothing more, nothing less.

short but powerful
Nice piece
What a beautiful reminder to slow down and enjoy the journey of life. This piece captures the essence of growth, perseverance, and mindfulness in a few short words. The image of the turtle and vines perfectly illustrate the importance of taking it slow and steady, allowing ourselves to savor each moment along the way. And the phrase "less is more" reminds us to focus on what truly matters and to embrace simplicity. Thank you for sharing this insightful piece, Allie Bickerton!
