Self-Isolation

by Lauren Morton

I reject the idea of boredom.

I reject the idea of needing to fill every second of my day

I reject the idea that if my schedule isn’t packed I’m wasting my time

I reject the fact that everything in life has to be immediate

I reject that inspiration is found scrolling through social media for a life that isn’t mine

I embrace that joy is found in the silence

I embrace that the silence allows me to heal

I embrace that healing allows me to start the path of moving forward

Moving forward to an inspiration that is God
