Mae Jemison once said, "Don't let anyone rob you of your imagination, your creativity, or your curiosity. It's your place in the world; it's your life. Go on and do all you can with it, and make it the life you want to live."
I tried to leave this world behind a few months ago. I could not stay away. When I returned I guess I was hoping for more excitement from those that knew me. This made me very sad, discouraged, and unloved. Then I thought, what is this all about. Why am I always being pulled back into this world over and over? Is it about wanting to be missed and cared about? The answer is "yes". But it is more than that. That is not why I keep coming back. What was it really? The answer came like a voice on the wind. It was the simple truth of awe and understanding. The answer is this: It was I that missed everyone. Not just those that I have known in this community. I missed all of you that come here and bring your imagination, creativity, and curiosity. This is why I keep returning. I love you all. You all inspire me to be myself and to dream and reach out with my imagination, creativity, and curiosity.
