Hi, if I could give you some advice, be kinder to yourself and slowdown in life. This is not a race. I can surely promise you rushing doesn’t mean you win a medal or first place. Even with you stressing, it’s all going to take just as long as it wants to take. So enjoy, and embrace. The meeting you are running late to, will still be there, and you in just a few. The light that skipped your turn, it can’t hear or understand the energy you pointlessly exert, while throwing your hands up with lots of cuss words. Your kid’s not gonna melt if you’re 2 minutes there after the bell. Your laundry that you penciled in for 12pm, well that too can wait there friend. You assume these minutes in the future you will meet. You forget not everything on the list we make, gets to be marked complete. You feel if you are not doing something all the time for that list, that we are lazy and worthless. My goodness! do you now see, that’s only ever been in your mind, it was never reality. Seriously, stop thinking it’s exhausting. And this is from me to me. You are more than those flaws only you can see. Or the check marks missing on the lists you keep, just to torture yourself for the ones you could never mark complete. You look great, so stop looking in every mirror to find something more to hate. You got glasses, but your vision and perception still are not that great. Keep working on yourself, don’t ever take a break. Slow down though. be kind, and just show yourself some grace.

    I hope to freaking God you never stop writing as long as you live! Your strength has been so inspiring to me. Please don’t think I’m saying all this just to be nice, because we know how people can be sometimes. Like I’m serious, the hope and positivity in the way you’re so hopeful, graceful, and loving towards your inner self brings my soul to tears at times. And it’s no different here on this particular poem. There are some deeper levels I feel with this one in particular too. There is something really special happening here. And I’m glad you exist in this universe! 🙏🏻

      Honestly you being here with words of positivity and kindess have had a great impact on my outlook in regards to posting anything for fear no one will relate enough to understand them. I think you have helped me see it matters. Your words, my words, big or small short or long, they matter and someone needs to hear them. And even if only 1 person reads or relates and feels inspired or less alone, that means I did EXACTLY what I intended. I let it go to give someone else their sign to also let it go ! I feel like other writers like yourself and your work inspire me to try new things, branch out with my style. I’m really happy you exist and our paths made it here 🙏🏼
