tighten your circle, 
she said 
as i stood there, 
my life unraveling, 
from too many yes's 
and not enough no's.
it's time to re establish 
that line in the sand, 
to know what stays in 
and what to keep out, 
she said gently. 
my line had gotten 
quite blurred, 
footsteps trampling 
across it going 
to and fro
some 
i don't even recognize 
but somehow they had
pressed their 
way in. 
what is important to you?
who is important to you?
she asked wisely. 
i will heed her wisdom, 
start over, 
and begin etching that line 
once again.

Over and over again. I feel like I’ll never learn but keep trying.
