The Man is Me.
I’ve got a lot of unwritten pages in my book
And I can’t live with dying before I’ve written something on every page.
The perfectionist thinks: don’t spoil the blank page,
but biology insists: do something before it’s too late.
The clock is ticking, the page turning, before it’s over
let me love someone so fiercely it feels like burning.
Fill every line even if it doesn’t rhyme. You’re wasting
all your time. Live before it's too late. Live before you die.
Second chance; second act; starting over with experience:
Life got better with age. As I discovered myself I discovered my joy; I found peace. I thought I would be miserable forever because in my youth that crushing despair was all I’d ever known and youth has no conception of the passage of time. Time may not heal the wounds, but it has blunted grief’s razor edge. I cannot be hurt by the past as readily as I used to be. Time really has made all the difference. There is still time to find love. To laugh. To embrace this second chance; my second act—not taking the coward’s way out by exiting stage left. I have time and unwritten pages for the man in the black ink to fill in. I cannot wait to see what he writes.

I am doing this anonymously because I like you and want you to take this with the warmth which I am sending.
I love it that you have the I in your name. When I see you as “blankpaige” I remember a community family member, blankpage. He was a writer and his work is still on the emcsa. He had a hot temper but he was kind. He passed as a result of an incredibly rare metabolic disorder (by the time he was 18 he had been in multiple papers).
When I see you I remember him, and I know he would love it that the community he loved lives on. That someone else is keeping a blank page type name alive. And that the person is kind and gives back to the community.
Again, this is a positive! You are good and kind and your own person, and now I smile thinking of both of you whenever I see your name.
Thank you for all the smiles. Here’s to many more as you learn and grow and become more you. Please take this as a “my beloved great aunt had the same name!” Because that’s how I mean it.
Oh my, I'm literally bawling my eyes out right now! That's one of the sweetest things someone has written to me in awhile. I'm so honored that seeing my name helps you to remember a cherished friend! I believe I have seen his stories before and I'm so sad that he's passed.
Things haven't been easy lately, but this gives me so much inspiration to continue to grow into my true self.
I hope to keep giving you smiles as you've certainly given one to me! I hope you don't mind me posting this, but thank you so much for sending this wonderful ask!!!
