Remembering Breakfast at Tiffany’s

“You know what’s wrong with you, Miss Whoever-you-are? You’re chicken, you’ve got no guts. You’re afraid to stick out your chin and say, “Okay, life’s a fact, people do fall in love, people do belong to each other, because that’s the only chance anybody’s got for real happiness.” You call yourself a free spirit, a “wild thing,” and you’re terrified somebody’s gonna stick you in a cage. Well baby, you’re already in that cage. You built it yourself. And it`s not bounded in the west by Tulip, Texas, or in the east by Somali-land. It’s wherever you go. Because no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself.” Paul, Breakfast at Tiffany’s

I haven’t forgotten what you had told me, “Never fear taking chances.” In fact, I have embraced the concept of taking every opportunity that would come my way. It has been a year since and I still think of you from time to time, more than you actually deserve but I still do it anyway.

I’m free of you and all that you stand for. I no longer run into myself but with. I will never be caged, not in the context of losing my freedom. However, what I will find is a place where my freedom is exercised in true love. Something you will never understand or have.
