I don’t know sh**

Growing up is knowing that

No one knows what's going on

We're all in pain

And we're all failing at it.

Growing up is knowing that

You are not your emotions

You are a soul, living in a mortal body

With emotions that pass through you

Growing up is learning that

We are all trying to do the best we can

With different problems

That no one but you and G-d

Will ever fully know

Growing up is learning that

You have a choice

To let your pain lead you

Or to lead your pain

As Kahlil Gibran would say

The bowl that overflows with milk and honey

Is the same bowl that was hollowed with knives

Growing up is knowing that

You are not alone

Because we're all fucked
