More of me disappears each day.

This might seem like another anecdote about growing old, but I like to think it's about coming into myself as my role and relevance dissolves into nothing.

I had my invincible period, a time when it didn't matter if the wind was at my back, our I was marching against hurricane gusts, I had no doubt I'd prevail. Back then, everyone either accepted me as I was or else to hell with them. But whether you believe there's a magician at the helm, everything that happens is left to chance or anything else in between, with each passing moment a little piece of us goes away.
 

Are you male /female ?.. which country are you in ?.. you might want to fill in a little of your profile..

I can't agree that all of us are slowing disappearing as ourselves and everything is left to chance. Maybe so if we;re all just material beings. I never was a material girl, although I like some of her songs. No, we're more than that. We are way deeper than that. Take a long, look inside yourself. Trust me you're still there, all of you.

I like what you wrote though. Very thought provoking.. I like what makes me think and what others might have a different opinion about.

WELCOME!!!

Hi Olivia,

It wasn't meant to be taken quite so literally, it's my short commentary on how life is the eater and we're only one part of an elegant, five-course meal. And I never said I think everything's up to chance, I merely pointed out that rising and sinking tides impacts us all.

Nice to meet you, and thanks for being so gracious in your critique.

Thank you. Nice to meet you too, mvsimmons, interesting thinker that you are. But I actually feel more in deep sand now than before. We seem to be speaking different languages, or at least different image languages which don't really yet present what we each mean. I really didn't want to trample over your thoughts and mash them them to pieces. But we have time to overcome all that. ☺️
 
True.

The ebb and flow, the highs and lows
The ins and outs that come and go
Some things change, some stay the same
We accept, then reject, life fluctuates.
Hi Esii,

What motivated me to write was my reality changed without my cooperation nor input. I won't bore anyone with the details but, suffice it to say, as my roles decrease, so does my relevance. In a metaphysical way I'm shrinking and it won't be long before I'll be that proverbial fly on the wall on my way to oblivion. At least that's something to look forward to. ;)

Thanks for your two cents.
 
The feeling's been there since a series of bad things started occurring and I had nowhere to look for help. Things will improve over time, I'm disappointed is all. Thanks for your encouragement.
