You can’t leave a legacy you refuse to live.
Life can feel so meaningful and meaningless,
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what I really want,
It looks very different than it used to,
I’m not the same person,
Something that I find super useful when I know what I DON’T want but I’m clear on what I actually, really want…
Not for kids,
Not what I think I SHOULD want,
Not what I HOPE for,
Not what the world thinks,
Not what’s practical…
But me, little old Renée,
And when you’ve lived a life trying your hardest to not upset anyone or mindful of what people think, and when your dreams happen in and around all the things that come with being a Mum.
It’s hard to know what we truly want,
So I like to think about what I want people to say about me after I’m gone,
I write it down,
And that’s what I live and who I become,
Because you can’t leave a legacy if you don’t LIVE a legacy.
