"Hiding Within"

 

Calm yourself...

Take a moment...

And just breathe...

A single moment of weakness can become the birth place of strength

Treat a failure as information now found instead of a setback within life

A loss can be a stepping stone found...

There is no shame in changing or rebuilding your life slowly

Not all can be fixed over night...

Some clarity will be found after confusion...

Some peace is only ever found after everything else falls apart...

Learning to carry yourself through the hardest parts in life is something to be tremendously proud of

Once you realize that everyone will only see you as their own version of you

And that version is only a reflection of them, this is where the line of understanding now begins

You are your own being, not who people say you are

You are not responsible for how they perceive you...

You are you and they are them...

Your being of energy is a gift

Not all who enter your life should have access to it

Nor should they be allowed to steal from it...

Some will only ever avoid you, simply because you tell the truth, and they wish to embrace a lie

This does not mean you are stuck where you stand...

You have acknowledged the direction of change needed

And brave are the new footsteps forward on your own

Release the heaviness as needed...

Along with any lack of respect received from those who watched you struggle endlessly

Only to add more weight to your shoulders, rather than helping rise above

Because sadly, hurt people can and do hurt other people

So comprehend this...

Why can't kindness and compassion be just as contagious?

The mind always remembers the words and the heart always remembers how it feels

Which teaches us the difference in the hardest lesson learned

That change does happen, and it does get better, but not by accident

It takes an intentional choice, honest growth, and moving forward without having all the answers to do so

Because your light will always expose unresolved things hidden within the darkness of others.
