"Allow You"

 

Dramatically...

Or quietly...

A shift in time begins to change the being...

You are not the same person you use to be

The things that you use to tolerate, are not intolerable now

Where you once remained silent, you are now speaking your truth

Where you once battled and argued, you are now choosing to conserve your strength

Because sadly, the lesson in history is that so many decide not to learn

And a toxic person only ever changes their victims, never themselves...

Refuse to apologize for how you feel, especially after being so deeply hurt

No one can control that...

Feelings and emotions happen always...

Allow yourself to give them permission to be seen and heard...

Being a good person doesn't guarantee that others will be good people too

We can only control ourselves...

By releasing the heaviness of things that no longer deserve our time, energy, and focus

Enabling you to move on with your life without resentment

You forgive you... not them...

You are not obligated to sacrifice your peace for those who are not at peace with themselves

We tend to outgrow people who are not growing with us

Because at the end of it all, some people never change

They simply just get better at hiding their true intentions and lies...

A dark void will never allow light

Learn who you are outside the boxes you have been shrunken into

Even strength must bow to wisdom sometimes...

Understand the value of your voice

Try to be informed, instead of being opinionated

Life is about finding yourself and creating your being into purpose

When we listen, we can hear someone into existence

Honour you...

By living for you.

"Happens to You"

 

Sometimes...

One of the bravest things that we can do is nothing...

No response...

No argument...

Not even an explanation....

Absence where presence once always was, explains itself

Peace matters more than proving wrong

In order to move on, you must understand why you felt the way you did

And why you no longer need to feel it...

We need ourselves just the way we are

No alterations or fake facades...

Our ability to some how light our own way within darkness is an achievement rarely celebrated

It is that act in choice which stands out above all the rest

Because despite all that has been faced, we choose to go on

Embracing our inner warrior and gaining our power back

With defiance we abandon the chaos...

We know ourselves better than anyone else

Yet sometimes, we begin to crumble at the words of another who hasn't even lived a second of our lives

This is why this decision becomes our moment of definition

To make what is before us, our own...

By focusing on our own voice, instead of any other

It is the only one that matters the most...

Because experience is not what happens to you

It is what you do with what happens to you

Everything released now, will create space for everything new...

This is why we must be strong enough to let go

And wise enough to know what we deserve

Our best done will always look different on different days

As long as we try, that is what matters the most

It doesn't matter how slowly we go forward...

Just as long as we keep moving and never stop.

"The Last Meeting"

 

Consider this carefully...

A lot of what weighs us down, is not ours to carry...

Disrespect can permanently close more doors than apologies can ever reopen...

Never tell a person they need to get over a circumstance that they never asked for

You have no idea the ways in which it has cost them...

A person in their darkest hour doesn't need to be told where they went wrong

They need to know that someone else sees and understands the darkness that now surrounds them

To find the reason, amongst the seasons, all upon the time line of life

However bittersweet, growth is change always...

And change can be painful...

But anything is better than staying stuck within a place you no longer belong

It can be incredibly hard to let go of anything you care for or love

We live in a world where we are told to hang on to things

All until we are standing alone, fists clenched in anger...

Only then do we come to understand just how much our perspective has altered

Nothing is ever the same as yesterday...

The best version of ourselves never comes out when life is great

Our true strength is revealed a midst trial of pain

We find the fighter within the being

Acknowledging that we are every moment of existence

We need to own our time...

Healing only begins when you stop pretending you are not hurt

Because there comes a realization when we reach the end of the road

Left or right is the only option...

Destination is no longer here where you stand

Because once two people learn the lesson that they were meant to teach one another...

Fate quietly steps in, and begins to ensure that the paths divide

Time begins to shift without us noticing

Distance and space becomes undeniable...

The sharpness of the memory of it all should be allowed to fade

Reality becomes closure...

As we exhale the past...

Breathing in the future of now.

"State of Mind"

 

Be who you need to be...

We are not responsible for anyone's distorted perception of us...

Stand firm with your being...

Never apologize for your bright light

Unless you are them, in their position, don't ever try to tell anyone how they should feel

Especially when you have never walked in their footsteps...

We may not be responsible for who we attract...

But we are responsible for who we keep an audience with and entertain

Reality bears witness always...

No one trashes your name with lies quicker than someone who is worried about the truth

No one plays the victim better than the one who caused the most damage...

Because it is always those with dirty hands pointing fingers of blame

Despite any circumstance, happening, or situation...

There is a residue that remains with us even after the dust settles

Certain parts and people seem to inhabit a small part of our being

A piece of them subtly remains with us...

Like a shadow stained upon that moment of living

Carried within it is the hard lesson learned...

As we come to understand that sometimes there is not enough words to voice feelings

Because confusion always does its best to torment us

To make us lost between whether we should be remembering or forgetting...

Proving to us that not all cages are made out of iron...

Some come in the form of repetitive thoughts playing in loops

Until we are forced to remind ourselves of the better...

That it is okay to break the circle...

Releasing the heavy weight of passed doubt...

Allowing freedom to become a state of mind

Healing our roots...

Stabilizing the core of our being.
