something i've been thinking about

we live an entire life outside of the bits and pieces we share with others.
we live a life outside of facebook updates and blog posts and emails dashed off.
we live a life outside of the simple answers to "what did you do today?" and "how are you?" and "what's new?"
we live a life outside the assumptions and guesses and unanswered voicemails.
we live a life outside of the stolen, ignored, missed moments.
we live a life outside of the roles we play.
we live a life outside of who others think we must be.

we live an entire life 
inside
the home within us. 

i live an entire life outside of the bits and pieces i share with others. 
i live a life outside of facebook updates and blog posts and emails dashed off. 
i live a life outside of the simple answers to "what did you do today?" and "how are you?" and "what's new?"
i live a life outside the assumptions and guesses and unanswered voicemails.
i live a life outside of the stolen, ignored, missed moments.
i live a life outside of the roles i play.
i live a life outside of who others think i must be.

i live an entire life 
inside
the home within me. 

and today, knowing that truth is enough.
