"Give the Reason"

 

Eyes up...

Looking straight forward...

Senses at attention...

Blink and you could miss it

Thankfully another moment comes again

Even though you can't see the path head...

Action forward is where you are going

Focus upon the support that has shown up

Not what has yet to be by your side

So much of what we learn about caring is taught to us

Or done through the act of doing...

Sadly, we seem to remember the harder lesson first from those who never cared for us...

Because words that do not match action is manipulation...

And refusing to be held accountable for any of it, is gaslighting...

The ability to apologize without blaming another...

Is growth within an experience understood

It's accountability with communication

There is worth in effort...

Respect is valued...

Peace is a priority...

Never give up upon yourself that still needs education

Give the reason to yourself

Healing comes in stages...

In forgetting...

Or forgiving...

And moving on...

Because some things have to end, allowing better things to begin

Stop counting yesterdays

Remind yourself today...

To breathe...

That this is you doing the best you can

And that is more than enough.
