I am the sum of all that has passed through me, no more, no less.
My past shadows come to linger with my present; I tell them to go.
I am no longer those things that have brought me here.
They are only a part of who I am, pieces of my past, fractions of my life.
Places, people, points in time, like an old friend or lover that once walked by my soul.
Intimately, each piece of my past makes peace with my present, then crawls back into the shadow.
I am the sum of all that has passed through me, no more, no less.
