"Here After "

 

It's your continued journey...

There will be moments of in between this and everything else...

When life reminds you every day that its a series of stages..

You may feel lost, angry, unseen, confused, or empty...

The difficult part is not to confuse these parts of transition with a forever state of being

You are not broken...

You are breaking away from what was, creating space to welcome what will be

It is never too late to be whoever you wish to be

There is no time limit, start whenever you want

You can change or stay the same...

But it does require you to acknowledge the difference in those choices

To make the best of it or allow the worst of it...

Maybe this chapter of your life is called resilience

A season of heavy steps forward where tears blend with resolve

A day when you choose to rise with the light, instead of falling with the darkness

Reminding yourself that there are going to be times when you feel like drowning within life

That no amount of guilt will solve the past...

And no amount of worry will redirect the future...

You are here and now living within existence

You owe no one access to the healed version of you if they ever once contributed to the broken one

Boundaries are not walls, they are gates you control

Allow yourself to be proud of surviving the storms that have passed

Self-love can and will be tough...
Sometimes it can feel abrasive with the ache of temporary discomfort

But it is a practice worth dedication..

Your being is worth the effort...

To be given the chance once again to blossom passed those moments when you where convinced you were failing or falling behind

It won't always be easy, and it wont always be beautiful

But that is life, us in the middle, and the balance of it all

Shaping you into the person you were meant to be

And despite all appearances, those things that were pushing you off your direction of path taken...

Were in fact leading you through it.

"You Are It"

 

It's the truth...

Liars do make the best promises...

So pay attention to their reactions to your boundaries

Their recoil and backlash to them is more of an honest response then words could ever be

The lines drawn are seen more as a personal attack against them, than acts of trespass against you...

Making this one of the most devastating forms of betrayal...

When your suffering is not recognized and denied...

When you are made to believe that you are the problem while they are mistreating you

Makes this the exact moment of a point of no return

Blinded vision is now made incredibly clear...

Serving as your everlasting reminder...

That the unkind words people speak, say more about their insecurities they keep, than about you

Because unhealed people don't listen with their ears, they listen with their triggers...

This is why you must do your best to stop carrying old feelings into new experiences

Release the harsh and pointed voices heard

Those are just a throwback to the past and it holds no truth about these moments now

Let go of the bitterness of self-judgment, the old, and the learned ways of beating yourself up for each imagined inadequacy
Allow the dialogue within the mind to grow friendlier
Transition out of your inner criticism of life

Allow the outlook to shift and see the difference...

Because this understanding is almost the most undefinable definition of living

That some how in some way you do endure everything and you survive...

You break into a million pieces and yet, you rebuild with what is salvageable

Your trust gets reduced and your spirit within hope gets shaken

Skepticism tries to seep back in through past scars...

But, some how, you are able to rinse the darkness with light

Granting yourself forgiveness...

Change requires you to give this gift to yourselves...

As you step into the next chapter within the seasons of life

Understand wholeheartedly, that if you were ever to need a good enough reason to fully believe in a being...

You are it...

A thousand times over...

You are enough.

"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.

"The Exact Moment "

 

Breathe...

This is the exact moment you knew was coming...

Where you believe that everything is finished, but it's only the beginning...

Healing rarely looks the way the mind has imagined it

Some days it feels like progress...

Other days it feels like you are right back where you started

Look closer to the being within...

There has been change...

The way you speak to yourself now is different

Tolerance for poor behaviour is limited

Even the way you sit with difficult emotions has altered

Growth is happening...

You are not what has been done to you

You are what you have overcome

Every mistake...

Each lie and broken promise...

Every fallen teardrop...

You have survived...

The scars that you carry mean that you are stronger than what tried to hurt you

Remind yourself you are human...

Remember this when doubt clouds your judgment

Nothing out there is worth getting out of character for

Sometimes you must cut the connection with those who are not good for your being

The care is not lost, but the respect within communication is

Your sanity and peace of mind begs for you to move on...

To stop taking directions from others to places they have never been

Because that type of tolerance eventually comes with resentment

At first you call it patience...

Then the care within love...

But what it really is, is self-abandonment

Every time you swallow a boundary, excuse a pattern, or silence your discomfort...

Something inside you keeps score

And eventually, the bill comes due

Asking all that you owe...

"Over Step"

 

Please, hear me clear...

I am here to get it right, not to be right...

To realign the balance of give and take...

By understanding the shift in change and the difference of it all

It took me a long time to be at peace with a lot of my demons

A battle long fought, won, and laid to rest...

This is why I have no immediate desire to battle yours on my own...

I am no longer interested in the level of life you have to offer my being

Or the only role you deem me worthy to to play within it

This is where I take my final stand...

Releasing every part of you from me...

It's not that I refuse to care, I just have to care better for me...

There always seems to be certain feelings that remain after decisions are made

More question are asked than answers provided...

Actions continue to fail...

And the same words are forever repeated and spoken...

Are among the many reasons why I refuse to be your stepping stone of betterment any longer

A fixer of your broken that you keep on breaking

The healer of wounds you keep open and bleeding

Just another pit stop for a quick top-up of momentary happiness

Or the layover to a place deemed better than all of this...

To continue to be the one who makes you whole and all better now...

Staying only because I have patched up all the holes within you

Making you all temporarily better, just so you may travel on your way

While failing to realize that the patches you leave with, are also pieces of me

This is why I release you now, fully and completely...

My boundary line is now drawn...

If you are never going to change for yourself, why would you promise to change for another?

This is why I've stopped choosing a being who refuses to choose me...

There are some actions and steps that have to be taken

Especially when they continually over step the line of carelessness

Respect, sanity and peace should never have to be negotiable...

Neither is the allowance in the amount damage caused...

Without any consequences received.

"Before Now"

 

Change...

Like sunrise through the darkness...

Everything that was yesterday now echoes through time

Each moment we breathe life into our being

So we may understand the feelings coursing through our veins

Love or loss...

To heal the hurt...

And to be at peace with it all...

Today is existence

Tomorrow is unknown

All waiting upon a decision to be made

We hold so tightly to some memories because they never change when everybody else does

This is why we tend to find ourselves a little lost

Trying to remember ourselves before who we are now

Sometimes people refuse to apologize for the harm they have caused

Because admitting that they hurt someone will destroy the version of themselves they believe in

This is why we must notice the difference in people

Either they are a reflection of a repeated cycle...

Or they are guides towards a new start...

We just don't simply walk away from another being to teach them a lesson

We do so because we have learned ours...

This is where our understanding is made

Give yourself permission to be where you are

Be the person who still tries after failure, frustration, or disappointment

Be the person who musters up the courage once again to try

To believe that a new attempt can manifest a new outcome

Be the person who still tries...

Always.

"Adapting Life"

 

Life is an echo...

What you send out...

Comes back...

Self-care is a different kind of love...

Believe in you...

Push your dreams into plans

Encouragement is sunshine to the being within

Understand the change needed...

Moments that cause you to detour from the path ahead

Are the obstacles we learn the most lessons from

We can and do adapt...

We have this ability carried within us as long as we allow it

Grant yourself the permission to be authentically you

Growth comes slowly, and sometimes painfully...

It reminds us of our humanity

Existence is the purpose of life

Our journey can and will probably shift...

We don't have to keep proving to others that we are okay

We are still worthy, even when we feel like we are not

Just because you feel something doesn't make it true

It is not a complete fact...

It is an emotion, and sometimes, that's all that it will ever be

Never give up on the being that you want to become

There is still time for you to be all that you want to be

Because at the end of it all, you will have as much life as you allow yourself

Especially when you come to understand that hurt does not own you

One brave step in any direction can change your entire life story

There is no other force known than a being determined to rise

So take this moment to remind yourself...

You are not stuck where you are unless you want to be

You are not behind...

You are becoming.
