I was on a cafe with a friend last Sunday. I hadn’t see him in quite a time, and yet, still, it’s nice catching up and watching the stories unfold. He always looked so confidence and knows his things fully— the kind of state I’m yearning to. We were talking about career progression and what to do in life. One of the key takeaways was: there are *some* things in life that you should never feel content in order to keep growing. We didn’t say the exact words but we knew what it was. Although we’re not talking about people, it reminds me of poem I saw on internet recently. So I doodle it today.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
If there’s empty spaces in your heart,
they’ll make you think it’s wrong,
like having empty spaces,
means you can never be strong.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ But I’ve learnt that all these spaces,
means there’s room enough to grow,
and the people that once filled them,
were always meant to be let go.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ And all these empty spaces,
create a strange sort of pull,
that attract so many people,
you wouldn’t meet if they were full.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
So if you’re made of empty spaces,
don’t ever think it’s wrong,
because maybe they’re just empty,
until the right person comes along.

PS: Saw this poem circulated on internet recently and it’s wrongly credited to ‘Ernest Hemingway’. The original writer to this poem is Erin Hanson who goes with the well-known ‘E.H’ signature. Erin Hanson’s has a book called ‘The Poetic Underground’.
Love,
Eugenia Clara.
