When I was done complaining I started appreciating,
When I was done running around I started enjoying the slow walks,
When I was done rushing I started reading,
When I was done crying I started getting things done,
When I was done self-underestimating I started loving,
When I was done planning the future I started living the present,
When I was done worrying about potentially-not-successful plans I started giving credits to my ideas,
When I was done being concerned about the age difference I started appreciating the different life seasons,
When I was done looking for answers I started having them all,
When I was done desperately looking for peace around me I started trusting the process,
When I was done dying I did start living.
