in 1997, when i was a kid living in the philippines, someone gave me a mug with my chinese zodiac sign on it
the horse
i didn’t think much of it back then…
i just knew it felt like mine, and i love it, it traveled years and places with me
growing up, i was the black sheep in my family
not interested in school, bullied,
never really fitting into what was expected
i always wanted to build something bigger than me
for years, it feels like i’ve carried that horse with me, running away from stability and doubting myself
and now it’s the year of the horse again, and something feels different
and for the first time, i don’t want to shrink it to fit other people’s expectations
if i’ve been a horse all along, maybe i was never meant to walk the safe path and that’s okay …
maybe i was meant to run my own
this year i’ll be moving faster and hesitating less
it’s time 🖤
