"Restoration of You"

 

Like all beings...

We are the transitions of change...

Continuously learning who we are...

While unlearning anything that someone else told us to be...

Choose you always...

Taking time for yourself is not selfish

You can't be there for others when you've forgotten how to be present for yourself

Boundaries are not created to offend others

They are created to honour your being...

Because at the end of the day, you are the caretaker of your life

People only see the decisions you made, not the only choice you had

Forgive yourself for not knowing better at the time...

Forgive yourself for giving away your power...

Forgive yourself for past behaviours...

Forgive yourself for everything else, but never for surviving...

Forgive yourself for all the patterns you put into place as you made your way through difficult decisions...

And above all else, forgive yourself for being who you needed to be at the time...

Refuse to continue to argue with those over understanding

Especially when they fail to understand themselves

The hardest things to let go of are the things we never truly had

To release those around us who have not grown with us

Because you will never be able to make someone see what they don't want to hear

Your mind is either a weapon or a weakness...

Train it to fight for you, not against you...

Strength sometimes looks like moving forward

A step at a time...

Breathing through all that is attempting to bury you deep

As you heal the places in your memory that still replay hurt

Leave everything in today as it passes...

Right where the sunset is found...

Tomorrow arrives with more time and understanding

And a chance to begin the restoration of you.

"In the Middle"

 

Sometimes....

You cannot think your way out of things...

Somethings you must feel your way through...

Because not all cages are made of metal, some are made of thoughts...

The mind seems to draw maps where the heart wishes to follow

And sometimes we get lost along the way...

Somewhere between what we want and what we have been told

Right in the middle of logic and longing...

Language is a movable object

We can and do learn, which causes so much change within and around us...

And we should grow beyond the past moments...

You may not have asked for this heavy weight placed upon you, but you do get to choose how you react to it

What we do in this life echoes for all the days we live within it

Sometimes the greatest betrayal isn't what someone has done to you

Its how long you have abandoned yourself to keep them

Maybe you are not healing because you are trying to be who you were before the trauma was caused

Sadly, the reality is that being no longer exists

There now is a new you emerging from the darkness

Trying to be born at this very moment...

To breath life into the being you are now becoming

Never trade your authenticity for approval

People will attack your character, wishing to gain entry to your being

Take notice, there is something there...

Thieves just don't break into empty places for no reason...

People always seem to notice the changes with you

But they never realize or remember the actions that have caused them

Because those with the dirtiest fingers, are usually the ones who are pointing the fingers of blame

Remind yourself that you deserve to feel safe within your own life

Fight for it, with every ounce gained and given

You are this force...

Always you...

Always enough...

Every moment...

Every sunrise...

Every day...

Shine your light.

"Passing Through"

 

It's a strange feeling...

That awkward in-between phase that we pass through...

The footsteps taken now from this chapter of life to the next...

It's a confusing period in our lives...

Where the only thing that you know is that things are changing

We have all been through moments like this

Some come differently, while others remain familiar and the same

Clarity rarely ever comes loudly...

But when it does, hold on...

Your heart will beat with such urgency...

Your mind will naturally reach out for the calm from within the storm ...

It will cause you to reflect more, while saying less

Teaching us to exercise our patience...

While the universe seems to bombard you with signs of it all

It is like your being is splitting into two

Your new and old self fight over it

Fear keeps threatening to take control

But you are so much stronger now than you use to be

And that is why you are not going to let it...

Ground yourself in the present repeatedly

No matter how uncomfortable it feels, fight it...

Because resistance will only have you permanently stuck in a chapter that was only meant to be temporary

Acceptance will allow you to breath again

To live through the moments...

Its that pivotal time we all seek

The point in this journey of life where you choose existence

You can either suppress it all or let it revitalize you

You are the most permanent thing in your life

This is why you must always choose you...

Beautiful...

Learning...

And changed...

Beyond all that was yesterday.

"Weight of Being"

 

 

We are doing our best...

And that is enough...

Because we don't always know how to hold onto the full weight of being human...

Some days joy and disappointment will show up at the same time

And unfortunately we have to make room for both

They all equally demand our attention...

These are the moments of life we are living and building

We wake up, show up, and keep feeling....

Choosing to have hope...

Not because it is easy, but because it is the one things that never fades

Especially when everything around us changes

Love is the truth we return to

It is the place inside our being that reminds us that we are enough

Exactly as we are...

This is why we must give ourselves the act of forgiveness

Refuse to see the lack of reciprocation in care for your being as a challenge to convince others of your worth

Don't judge yourself by what others have done to you

Self-realization is the best service you can render to yourself

Never confuse acceptance with indifference

Everyone has the right to breathe...

Fate is something that cannot be forced

What is intended will always be...

Not everyone will understand

Some of us are still learning that we are deserving of good things

To find trust in optimism without entitlement...

To not confuse confidence with arrogance...

Because we are reminded frequently that beautiful things can be fleeting...

This is why we must appreciate them while we embrace them

The changing of seasons bring us bluer skies

And a rest between the moments of life's existence

A pause in the journey to remember what is most important

To long and want for something more...

While treasuring all that has been and what has yet to be...

As we fight to keep the light lit

For every reason given to believe.

"Bruises of Yesterday"

 

 

 

It's that slow and gradual realization...

That we don't lose ourselves in one moment...

It happens slowly...

Every time we ignore what we feel

And when we choose distraction instead of vision forward

Until silence becomes unfamiliar...

Causing noise to start to feel like something we should embrace...

The hardest part about self-love is not change

It's loving yourself in the dark...

When your alone...

When it hurts...

And when no one knows just how heavy it feels...

It's that quiet understanding...

To have the faith in belief that you will rise after falling

While also noticing the strength, softness, and wisdom pain is quietly building within you

You are not simply falling apart...

You are digging deeper...

And this action matters...

It is the difference between filling your life with, “I can't believe I did that,” stories

Not with, “I should have done that,” regrets

The real power is to stay within your peace while surrounded by ungrounded people

Because what if the person you thought was protecting you was actually the one causing the damage?

They didn't protect you from the pain, they created it...

The hurt wasn't an accident, it was a choice...

And denying it was how they made you question your own reality...

Learn to recognize the difference...

Some bonds steady us...

While others pull us off center...

Which now causes you to learn this lesson in the hardest way possible

That the abuse of holding onto the pain other's have caused

Only runs deeper than the methods of abuse used against you

This now becomes your reminder repeated...

Remember to be good to yourself...

Love yourself first...

And let go of the bruises of yesterday.

"Power of Chaos"

 

Unfollow chaos...

Take back your thoughts...

Make peace yours again...

Sometimes an apology cannot fix what has happened

Because the real issue is not the actual mistake...

It was the fact that it was done with direct intention

Full knowing the damage it was about to cause

And it was done anyways, to inflict as much pain as possible...

Especially when denial of wrong doing becomes paramount to those who have caused harm

Those who refuse to take ownership of it, will never take responsibility for it

Sometimes the point of life is change...

And we are at the mercy of the momentum...

Some people don't leave your life, they just slowly stop belonging in it

And regardless of truth...

We are all the villain in someone's story...

Simply because we dared to hold them accountable for their actions

People become powerless without your reaction

Know the difference between support and surveillance

Sometimes there can be a thin line dividing both

Slander always reveals the greatest truth about the coward implementing it

This is why the difference in distinction of words matter

The cause and effect of actions taken matter

Because you matter always....

And as you begin to heal from these wounds...

Choosing a path forward does not mean that the pain did not happen

It just means that the power that it once had over you...

Now no longer controls you.

"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.

"Suddenly Life"

 

How suddenly things can change...

Life and its infinite amount of moments...

That so much time and memories can come to pass...

And how many are awaiting yet to be

Filled to the brim with emotions and feelings

All with a different amount of experience and change

We are the forever student...

And life teaching us every day...

That time waits for no being

Existence happens always

With or without us...

Choices and decisions...

How much do you allow yourself to drown in life?

Do you wait for another to help?

Or do you rescue yourself?

There is safety found in compassion and caring

That moment when you can hear the smile in someones voice

And the presence held within the embrace of another's arms

The invisible thread that links all of us together

Makes you understand just how fragile it is

Like a lose corner of a tapestry...

It all can come unravelling...

Will it reveal a hidden meaning underneath?

Another moment?

Another lesson?

A time to learn, experience, and grow?

To be reminded and to see the difference...

That good moments can happen on bad days...

To acknowledge that some push us beyond our limitations

Some cause us to treasure everything bittersweet and deep

While others take too much from our being as they come to pass.

"Remember This Today"

It's that gradual realization...

Even if you could go back in time...

The truth is, you don't belong there anymore...

But as always...

You desperately hope to win the war deep inside you that you tell no one about

As you attempt to stay close to those people who want more for you

Not more from you...

To do your best and make your own path in this world

Uniquely to you...

Following your own voice...

Only listening to those around you quietly reaching out...

Because you know what it is like to be unheard and left behind in silence

And the sad reality is...

No one truly cares how you feel until you make them feel exactly how they made you feel

This is when a difference is realized

Can there be an understanding achieved?

Or will there just be more attempts of character assassination and unfounded accusations made?

Sadly, we cannot change someones behaviour by caring for them harder

It's a difficult thought to bear...

Because a genuine mistake is considered an accident...

But the continuation of lying about it is not...

That is a deliberate action taken against you to cause harm

This is why you now begin to understand the importance of this moment

That despite it all, you are here...

Now knowing how one brave decision can redirect your entire story

Knowing that it will never hurt another to heal yourself

And by acknowledging your flaws will never erase your worth

Because everything that you are, is enough...

Always.

"I Choose Me"

 

Today...

And every dawn of mornings light...

I choose me...

Along with the peace that comes from knowing

That if this is all I have...

It will be mine to own...

That I am no longer forever waiting

For life to teach me how to gracefully let go of things that were not meant for me

To release that which no longer serves me well

To embrace the next footstep placed forward

Because I am reminded of the gentle whispers that come to me

That moonlight is proof that there will always be light

Even in darkness...

In each quiet breath that renews me

I accept that some doors may need to close for others to open

That growth comes from releasing, not desperately holding on

From now and until what will be

And every space in between

I now understand that wisdom is healed pain

That we are all human...

We may stumble and fall...

That our existence is not based upon our experiences with mistakes of the past

Suffering is the privilege of those who feel

Humanity is the ability to identify with someone else's pain

Survival is an action taken...

Not a state of continued being...

So many people around us are holding on by the tiniest thread

This is why we must offer kindness to those who may be reaching out...

Because you could be that thread.

"That Moment"

 

Everyone has that moment...

When something momentous happens...

That it hits you deep...

Ripping your very being into small pieces...

The worst wars always seem to be the ones that are fought in silence

It's a struggle to understand what to hold onto and what to let go of

To not let temporary feelings cause you to make permanent decisions

Being wise is knowing who and what to ignore

What to overlook and where to leave things

When to move on and why it is necessary

To stop holding onto what has been broken...

Because some form of darkness always seems to call our name

Beckoning us to embrace it within us deep

The choice always remains ours...

Refuse to validate that which continues to drain you

Sometimes the most powerful thing that you can do is nothing at all

It isn't what we think or what we say that defines us

It is what we do...

To allow it to come...

Then allow it to pass...

Remember your why...

It is never too late to do anything you want to do

It is your road you are travelling

Always remember that you are enough

That the way you speak to yourself matters

Acknowledge the difference in change

Regardless of all else...

Be the beacon of light guiding yourself through

Because amidst all the struggle, you are less likely to drown...

When you remove the tremendous weight of the world off your shoulders.

"Your Time Now"

 

Every moment is a fresh beginning...

It's life's request to believe in yourself...

To trust your capacity before you have the experience to prove it...

It calls your name to step forward to the challenge

Even when you still carry doubt about the outcome

It is the very act of stepping up...

When you do not quite feel ready, but you do it anyways...

That is when you become who you are here to be

Space given does not change the past

It allows you to restore your standards

Lingering shadows only prove that light is still there

Small steps forward are still progress

Your journey always begins from within

Heal the root, your core, so the tree is stable

Understand the difference between difficult and easy

Sometimes other people's easy stuff is your difficult stuff

And sometimes its the other way around...

It all depends on perspective

We all have different strengths and weaknesses

Be proud of your determination

Courage is brave...

Your broken never defines you

Its the determination in reconstruction that does...

You spend so much energy wishing for time within different chapters of your story

But the only thing that you are actually given is the present moment

What you do with it is the difference made...

The decision is, what to do with the time given to you?

You don't get to choose how long you are here

Or how many sunrises you have left...

You don't get to rewind, pause, or skip the hard parts

All you get is now...

So use up as much of today as you possibly can

Because you will never get this day ever again.

"Always Life"

 

This chapter of life is called now...

The end of everything...

Can be the beginning of anything...

You are not a reflection of the people who cannot see you

Let the image run clear...

Understand that their disrespect comes from the fact that you are actually what they pretend to be

Don't ever let other people decide who you are

Stop letting fear waste life's moments

Remove the anchor...

Don't let the thought of the unknown keep you from starting over

You are allowed to outgrow everything that you once tolerated

To release all that no longer serves you well

Forgiveness is a power...

To give it...

To receive it...

To withhold it...

And to bestow it upon yourself...

It is some of the hardest work we will ever do

Own your footsteps forward

Embrace your power...

Rise with the brightness of the sun

With confidence in being the best version of you

Growth from what was is now choosing not to reopen the door to the past

Refuse to give up the peace you fought for and won

Because there is always going to be people in your life who change your trajectory

They will walk into your life for a moment, a lifetime, or anytime in between

They are going to disrupt something in your life that will challenge you completely

It will trigger your beliefs and cause you to re-examine your values

Trying desperately to cause hesitation with the place in which you stand

Know that these people will teach you...

And they will probably be taught by you...

That when you choose continued behaviour, you also choose the consequences that come with it

Reminding you now that lessons in life's existence happen always

Just like change...

"This One Life"

 

There is just this one life...

Where you get to choose where you go and what you can do...

And be who you wish to be...

You get to choose your mindset...

Your actions...

And your reactions...

Attitude and perception is everything

Power in choice is given every day

Honour your inner wisdom

Brave are your choices made to follow your own path

Release the rules placed upon you by others

Especially when they begin to chain and restrain your freedom to be you

You deserve to feel safe within your own life

Trust the empowerment

Give it a chance before dismissal

Trust action over words

People can tell you anything, but actions tell you everything

Change is life and existence...

Everything comes to an end...
Everything must eventually be paid for
And one day you have to draw a line underneath it all and add it all up

If you can release it from your hands, then you should be able to release it from your mind

Separate observation from preconception

You cannot remain at war between what you want to say and what you should say...

Its okay to be mentally and emotionally tired

Acknowledge that these moments have taken too much from you

Feel what you feel...

There is no rule book to follow on how to handle all that life throws at you

Do the best you can in your own way

Give yourself the space to work through it

You are on your own timeline

Embrace your purpose wished

Move forward like you have nothing to prove

Because peace can come as distance is placed.

© 2026

"You Are Always"

 

There comes a point in time...

When a decision in choice has to be made...

To allow what comes next...

And actually mean it...

Boundaries only work when you enforce them

The goal is not to be right, but to live with the truth

Past wounds caused were never your fault

But the ownership of healing from them is your responsibility

To find peace, you have to be willing to lose the connection to chaos

Understand the limit in tolerance and when it has been reached

Deny the blame for their disrespect given to you

Don't let the fear of what could happen let nothing happen

Everyone carries some darkness...

The question is whether they hide it...

Use it...

Or are consumed by it...

It may not be realized now, but the thing that ended up hurting you the most, will also be the thing that changes your standards forever

Pain has a strange way of clarifying what you will never tolerate again

Like the saying goes, you either get better or you get bitter...

When you take what has been done to you and allow it to make you into a better person

Or you allow it to tear you apart piece by piece...

The choice belongs to you...

That is why when words fail, actions need to speak

The image that others have of you is not your responsibility to live up to

Release the weight of expectation...

Acknowledge the painful transition...

Know that you are not falling apart, but stepping into something different

Just like the moon going through phases of dark to light, and everything in between

It may not always appear with the same brightness...

But you are always still whole...

Existing and growing...

From a wound that once bled.

"Rather Than You"

 

Silence isn't always empty...

It can be full of answers to those who wish to hear...

With hidden meanings or spoken in the loudest volumes...

Life is every moment always

There are going to be times when you feel like you are drowning in thoughts

Of tears and bad memories unable to be forgotten

When darkness lurks behind every day, leaving you to desperately wishing for sunshine

Only for you to realize that you need to allow the light in...

To step out from the shadows cast over you

With an understanding that tomorrow is always there, with or without you...

A step in any direction than here and now, is the act of surviving

Acknowledging that we do sometimes break

Not because we are not strong enough to carry the load

But because we decided to pick up something that was not ours to bear

Before the truth can set you free...

You need to recognize which lies are holding you hostage...

Sometimes lost things need not return

Acceptance is realization of change...

That sometimes we cannot rely on a clock or calendar to tell us when its okay to move on

Our heart does not understand the notion of time or distance

Only absence...

Refuse to let others ruin your peace, just because they cannot find theirs

Removing yourself from chaos should not have to require an apology

Letting go is not giving up...

It is one of the bravest things you will ever do...

Because when holding on is only ever hurting you

Let the connection break, rather than your being...

Be that to yourself which you did not receive...

And let them miss you...

They earned it.

"Betterment of You"

 

We all have a story of us...

Of chapters lived...

Of so many moments forgotten...

And some pages that never get spoken about

We are the contrast in difference

Actions have meaning even if the outcome is denied

Words are still the singularly most powerful force available to humanity

We can choose their use as well as their force

Constructive or destructive...

Meant as encouragement or despair...

They carry the energy and power with the ability to help or harm

To hinder or heal..

And to humiliate or humble...

So in a world overflowing with words, sometimes it's not about what people promise...

It's how they show up that speaks the loudest

Some people only cling to their hate so stubbornly because once that emotion is gone, they will be forced to deal with their pain

Making the part of you that has removed others from your presence neither bitter or vengeful

Your being was simply exhausted from being used, then blamed for the sadness felt

We don't always know how to carry the weight of being human

How to hold happiness or disappointment in the same breath

Yet we continue to reach for the light...

Because it always returns when everything else fades...

It's the truth we return to...

The general belief that we are already enough, just the way we are

Just like the beginning of a new day

You have been given this blank page to do with as you will

What you do today is important...

Because when tomorrow comes, this day will be behind you

So it's best to make it something worth while ...

Containing the betterment of you.

"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 were 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.
