"Fragments of Life"

 

Some of those little things in life...

In all those mixed up moments...

Are not so little...

Maybe this journey we are on is not about becoming anything...

What if it is all about unbecoming everything that isn't really you?

So you can be who you were meant to be all along

If your next shaky step forward is still taken

That is the seed of confidence planted

That alone in itself is bravery taking root at the core of your being

Because you have decided to chose the survival of you

Your gut instinct is not a liar

Those initial feelings exist for a reason

Process through them...

Are they valid or are they projections?

Never dismiss your intuition...

We all wish to be understood, but sometimes fail to understand

Just how much transformation can be painful

It takes a great amount of effort to give yourself permission to change

You cannot force puzzle pieces into places they do not fit

Even though holding on to the past is hurting

We all battle with that final release...

Sit with yourself processing the moments

Feel the presence within...

Begin to love yourself out of the dark

Realize the difference achieved and made

Finding the wisdom from healed pain

These are but fragments of life

Not the entire picture...

Or even the completed one...

Because the best part is, we are all continued works in progress.

"Within Yourself"

 

Truth...

You are the only human being who knows everything that you have been through...

Everything that has been gained...

And everything that has been lost along the way

A lifetime of existence, layered and built, broken and saved

Sadly, there are those who wish you would fail...

They are the ones who gather dark pieces of you

Saving them up to use against you on those unfortunate days...

When your light is too big for them to see anything other than all the ways their own light does not shine

Pay attention to those who react with hostility and anger towards your boundaries

Found there is where the edge of their disrespect begins

Trauma is or can be memory...

It is also reliving the pain...

Trust within yourself comes from allowance

To give yourself permission to change

Shed the being of who you use to be

A reset and start over again transition...

To grow into the best version of you

Never forget how beautiful different is

Peace will always feel uncomfortable at first...

Especially when the only thing that you have been use to is survival mode

But as strange as it is...

Closure to things can come at the oddest moments

Now, months or years later...

It's that lightness of spirit felt on an ordinary day

Without prediction or planing there is a release

And for a first time in a long while, there is a deep exhale...

Setting you free.

"Story Unfolding"

 

Today is the dawn of every tomorrow...

With feet aiming forward your journey continues...

Standing at the edge of a new chapter can be scary...

This is your story unfolding...

The next page being written in the history of your being

Hesitation and doubt can be felt...

Temptation to remain lingers, holding the baited breath...

But there is this momentum within you to keep moving, and to never return to any yesterday

Making this time now yours to own...

It tests your limits, but it is worth the effort put forth

Real growth happens in the spaces between who you were and who you are becoming

It's the journey of life, existence in every moment experienced

You are allowed to change the narrative

No one else gets to write the story of your life

Peace comes in the letting go of the heavy weight...

Releasing the past embrace and all that no longer serves you well

Allowing these moments now to be better than yesterday...

Because hope usually is the seed planted in the dark

Choice is not chance...

Change is not an excuse...

And motivation should never be manipulated...

Listen to your own inner voice rather than the random opinions of others

Don't confuse not needing much, with receiving the bare minimum

Questioning is where learning begins...

You are a human being, it takes time...

And just because it is taking more or less than anyone else...

Does not make it any different, or any less difficult

After broken is where you begin to heal...

Brave the darkness passing, the light is calling your name

You haven't made it this far just by chance

You have become the change you were seeking

Making this your new start right here and now.

"Becoming You"

 

The lesson in history is...

We must listen...

And learn from it...

There truly is no such thing as a being with no voice

There is only the deliberately silenced or those wished to never be heard from...

This is why we must be mindful of what we say

Words can be like tattoo-ed ink

Permanent marks upon anothers skin

Making forgiveness some of the hardest work we do

It requires a lot of strength in understanding and knowledge

To be able to stand upon our own feet freely and not hide behind the views of others

We are human...

Attachments get formed...

Pieces and fragments of us detach...

All scattering throughout reality...

Every person and place we touch or come in contact with has parts of us remaining

There is places where we once lived...

And there are versions of us that no longer exist...

Moments of life given and taken all within and through the seasons

All of which are searching and finding their way out or a place to remain

Constantly we are building and replacing parts of our being

Digging a little deeper and growing...

Working through the best and worst of daily living

We curate a wealth of positive memories

So on those dark negative days, we remain embraced with hope for a better tomorrow

Allowing our heart the strength it requires to remain present

Because pain can turn our lives ugly...

Be proof that surviving can be beautiful...

It's that gentle reminder given to yourself

You are trying and doing the best you can with your current circumstances

Hold yourself with kindness...

Release the heavy weight upon your heart and anything that does not allow you to be true

Remember that you are still learning...

There is no deadline on becoming you.

"Depth"

 

Shine your light...

Placing it directly in front of your feet moving forward

You are what you give

Be what you need to be to your being

Embrace this moment until the next

Acknowledge the dark...

Doubt can only be removed by action

Rediscover your voice...

Staying silent does not necessarily mean safe

Criticism received usually comes from the void lacking in another

No one ever can justify the right to hurt you

It only ever becomes a very hard lesson learned

They teach you the depth in which you can be wounded

By leaving a human shaped hole within us...

A tidal wave of emotions...

And a hurricanes worth of change within...

Because most of our suffering comes from holding onto things that might have been, should have been, or could have been

Perspective and comprehension is key

The calmer you are, the clearer you are able to think

Sadly, there will always be someone who does not see your worth

Please, just don't allow that being to be you...

We all make mistakes

We do get it wrong...

Have the courage to see the difference

To be sorry...

Understand that change is possible

To look into the mirror and see more than a reflection

All the battles that you have over come are invisible

Hidden beneath the reflection

Is a human being trying.

"Daily Practice"

 

Each day is a practice...

A choice...

Another decision made...

Breathing in and through all the moments

It's the compass within us pointing

Directing our feet in forward motion

Experiences make us wiser

Scars tell our stories

Effort is the worth given

To attempt to do our best daily...

By remembering the difference within our mindset

Like how easily we believe in our doubts rather than our abilities

If anything can matter, than everything can matter

And maybe, you are not lost...

Maybe you are just not currently where you want to be in life

Because there is two meanings to hope...

Have only positive expectations...

And hold on pain ends...

A few small cracks within you does not mean that you are broken

It just means that you were put to the test and you did not break

You are much stronger than the burdens put upon your shoulders

There is always the balance between the give and take

And oddly enough a choice in pain...

The one of regret or the one of discipline...

Forgive yourself...

For every time you gave someone the power to make you feel worthless, empty or afraid

You are nothing less than who you are

You are human...

And we do forget just what we are capable of

Remember always...

Promise yourself to never forget again.

"Already Been Made"

 

Life...

It is meant to be lived through experience...

Not endlessly questioned...

Be very careful what you put into your head

Because when fear chases us, we tend to believe the most unbelievable

We are teachable...

Learn that there is more to life

Never take the blame on how another mistreated you

Shame only becomes the lie that someone told you about yourself

People are not born angry or sad...

They are made that way...

Good things can fall apart

So better things can fall together

Heal your being...

So you can hear life truly

And not have to filter it through your past wounds

Deny access to that which has already hurt you

The mark and impression has already been made

Choices and chances are always given

How many do-overs do you grant to those who never change?

Because when all you do is forgive them...

You do so until you unlove them and no longer care...

Release the resentment

Only hold onto the very hard lesson learned

Yesterday is not a direction that should be taken

The past is only there to provide contrast

If you can see the darkness, then you can see the light

Open your eyes...

Take notice...

Speak to yourself with care

And be present...
