"Where Shadows End"

 

Breathe...

Allow the silence..

Understand the moments as they are needed...

Never let your wounds turn you into someone you are not

Try your best to not personalize or internalize other people's behavior

What they do and say in not a reflection of you

Their actions are entirely their own

And should not affect your growth...

Because at the end of it all, you will never be able to change their mind

You will never be able to make someone hear what they are unwilling to see

Making this the saddest part of all...

When they have been beside you all along, listening to everything that you have been through...

Then putting you through it all over again...

Which now gives you the permission to declutter your life

Remove what and who does not fit anymore

It's not out of malice or cruelty...

But becomes a necessity of survival

Return yourself to a semi-balanced life

Existence is not perfection...

One thing we cannot do is carry the entire weight of the world upon us

And still expect to keep up with the pace of everyday life

Try your best...

To hold on...

To let go...

To keep trying...

Sometimes it is the only promise to be given

Attempt to heal from those iron fists trying to squeeze out and extinguish your light

This is where the shadows cast upon you end

Give thanks to yourself for not giving up

Remember that emotions and touch have memory

Feed and nurture your soul

Your are beautiful...

You are enough...

And no one ever has the right to make you feel like you are not.
