I still leave a place
for you at the table,
even though your chair stays cold
your laughter lives in these kitchen walls
while the memory they hold
echoes, echoes that never get old
we're more alone
I talk to a ghost
trying to find you in this quiet
I play your song,
Kuna watu wataanza kukuheshimu siku watagundua ulikuwa serious.
Usibadilishe direction yako ili uwathibitishie kitu.
Build quietly. Grow privately. Let your life make the announcement.
���
Sometimes you don't need a new beginning.
Unahitaji tu kuacha kuogopa kuendelea.
You've survived days you thought would break you. You've walked through seasons you thought would never end.
So hii chapter pia utaimaliza.
Polepole. Lakini songa.
Usijaribu kuelezea kila mtu journey yako.
Wengine watakuona ukinyamaza na wafikirie umechoka. Wengine watakuona ukichelewa na wafikirie umefeli.
Lakini wewe unajua vile unapambana.
Keep going. Siku yako ikifika, results zitasema kile maneno haikuweza.
Kuna time maisha inakufundisha usikimbilie kila kitu unachotamani.
Some things need time. Some people need distance. Na baadhi ya dreams zinahitaji uvumilivu kuliko pressure.
Usijione umechelewa. Bado unajengwa.
Hurting hurts
healing does too
growth hurts
staying the same does too,
truth hurts
living a lie does too,
there is no
painless way,
only pain
that keeps you stuck,
and pain that
sets you free.
