Monologue:

I am Turquoise

I am clarity.

So, about me, I can never stay still.

I need to keep moving,
staying in my constant state of flow.

What happens if I stop?

My biggest fear.
Losing my momentum.

Getting pulled under.
If I don’t move, I become stagnant.
My clarity slips
and I lose who I am.

My movements let my feelings pass through me.
I can carry myself forward, steady.

I don’t always know where I’m going…
but I adjust.
I shift.
I respond.

I’m good at that.

I can guide myself through choppy waters
I stay in my calm flow.
