"Hold the Light"

 

One day...

You will look back and hopefully understand the experiences had...

Were not simply happening just to break your being...

That it actually changed what your being was willing to accept

That you will stop explaining away the signs ignored...

And stop calling inconsistency as possible potential

You will no longer make so much room in your life for anything that makes you feel small

Because that type of pain has a memory...

Imprinting upon you that moment realized...

To never return to those moments ever again...

To help yourself find peace, it does require you to let go

To lose your connection to the people, places, and things that create so much noise within your mind

You need to be brave enough to listen to the voice of life...

The one carried within your being..

If you fear reaching out...

Always try to remember to reach in...

Be that to yourself that you did not receive

You don't have to be grateful for the pain to be proud of how you are surviving it

You can still hate what is happening and admire the strength that is being brought out within you

You can still grieve the things that have or are about to be lost...

There is a you after this...

Healing does not mean that you have to rewrite the entire story to make certain parts prettier

It just means that you have learned how to carry it with you

And not have it destroy you every single moment of the day

Because surprisingly enough...

By being here you are doing it...

Either by choice or just how things happen to be...

To identify the pattern made becomes awareness

Choosing not to repeat the same cycle over and over again becomes growth

Because once you have been buried in darkness...

You learn to appreciate everything that shines

And to hold onto the light.
