Be.

I have challenged all my thoughts. I have ripped down my beliefs and created a blank canvas. I didn’t do what you told me to because I wanted to see for myself. I am stubborn. I am fierce. I pave waves over paths created, destroying lines and pushing boundaries. I am rebuilding my beliefs based on experience. And my experience has taught me that nothing is as it seems, nothing is what you expect. There are too many variables to predict, to know, to believe. I cannot trust myself and I cannot trust anything. The only thing I trust is the beating of my heart and the guiding of my gut. I will walk where I feel those lead me, and sometimes, it is through the darkness. I will say what is on my tongue. Life will go on without me, but peace will be mine. I am a rebel with a cause of experimentation. I want to see, I want to be, I want to learn, I want to understand, I want to grow. You will not stop me. I will listen as I chose. I will pay the price for my ignorance, the price of painful knowledge gained, and beautiful stories to tell.

So listen to me, as I tell you: Live. Challenge. Do as you please. If you take from others, you will learn that you pay for it, and that price is emptiness. You only steal from yourself. If you give to others and to yourself, you gain from so much. Choose. Make a choice. You will gain the benefits of what choice you make, the positive, the negative, the experience, the existence. Sometimes you need a little bit of both. And don’t regret a moment. Embrace and be what you are. Beautiful. Amazing. Unique. Actuality. A point in space and time that can feel and move and touch and influence. Be. Be. Be.

Grattitude

Today I am grateful
for a heart that can feel
for a mouth that can speak
for hands that can touch
a soul that can love and forgive
a back that can carry what needs to be moved
the ability to drop what needs to be left
for feet that take me new places
and a curiosity that pushes me to go

I am grateful for forgiveness that I have for life
for the hardship
the heartbreaks
the love
the experience
forgiveness gives me the courage to begin again

I will take it all in
And love even more
Even when my heart feel like it is going to burst

I am not sorry for any of it
None at all
Each moment pushes me to feel, to learn, to grow

My soul is beautiful. My heart is whole. My love is real.
