by Andrada Costoiu

Despite my sense of balance,
I’m sacrificing comfort for adventure.
Not sapped by nostalgia
I’m hurling myself toward the future, 
Knowing that one cannot be normal and alive at the same time.

Time continues to pass, 
Whether we like it or not.
I suggest that you, too, reject the prejudices of society,
Embrace the “I do not know, “glue back the shards of your instincts, 
And let them drive you.

Your body is your mind.
Embrace the mystery,
Dance with shadows and the light
In the end, you will find where you belong, 

Inside you and outside you, there is power.
I am the master of every error, 
But I am not wrong to believe that our spontaneity, faith, hopes, and dreams
Are our greatest acquisition. 
Hold tight to these gifts and…. despite your sense of balance,
Dare sacrifice your comfort for adventure.
