I Need This

I need this space. I need this place that I’ve created to capture my thoughts.

I need this time to think and to plan and to dream.

I need these words.

When I don’t use this space I feel lost and out of control. It can be difficult to remember that, though I suppose memory is also one of the reasons that I need this place.

I need to remember that I have moments of clarity. I need to remember that I’m not always starting completely over. I need to remember that I have made progress.

It seems that I have been here before.
