"Not Always"

 

It's okay, to not be okay...

Because some days are harder than others...

And you are not where abandonment left you

Remember, some things have to end for better to begin

We must teach our heart to accept things that will not change

Some people within your life will not be happy that your healing

Sadly, they benefited from your brokenness...

So this now becomes your pivoting point of change

There will always be someone with a little more than you

And there will always be someone who has a little less than you

Please, stop comparing...

Otherwise happiness will always elude the search

Life is imperfect, everyday...

Hope comes in many forms and shapes

And strength looks different from day to day

The willingness to change is the act of courage

It makes us a little braver every time

You are allowed to change your mind

Adjust your values and preferences

Daily, we evolve from the being of yesterday

This is your life...

Dark parts of us do exist and they need to be heard

Because they deserve our love too

This is how we journey through ourselves

By not apologizing for the fire of hope burning within

No one gets to decide our degree of silence or servitude

Or dictate your passion of heart...

Courage does not always have to roar loudly

Sometimes in some days it whispers quietly

Saying, “You have done your best, and tomorrow is another day to try again...”

Self-love isn't just an act of self-care

It's also learning to not beat yourself up for not being anything more, or anything less, than who you are now

A human being...

Breathing in and through this moment to the next...

By being okay with where you are now.
