Dream Life

                                    Instead of focusing on how far you still have to go, take some time today to remind yourself of how far you've already come. Yes, you might still be struggling. And yes, you may still have some distance to cover, but those things don't discount the progress you've already made. Healing takes time. Life takes time. It's not a process that can be rushed. You'll get there when you get there. And you're allowed to  give yourself that time. Beating yourself up for not being further along does absolutely nothing to help get you closer to where you want to be. It makes you feel inadequate and ashamed, and it  keeps you stuck. So stop fixating on how much farther you need to go and start acknowledging how incredible it is that you've gotten as far as you have. That despite how difficult this path has been, you haven't given up. That even though you've felt hope...

                                                  The healing is not the destruction. It is not the day you know it is finally time to uproot your life. It is not the moment you tell someone they are no longer welcome, it is  not the hours you spend decluttering, it is not the minute you walk away. The healing is how you gradually allow your soul to drip into your days again. It is how you show up more fully now that the debris is cleared, and the roads  are unblocked, and your life is once again renewed and  refreshed and freed. It was never about whether or not you had the courage to light fire to what was, it was  whether or not you were willing to plant a seed in its place, and to grow what was always meant to be.

 Healing is uncomfortable. It is a long journey. It is upwards and downwards and taking 5 steps forward and 3 step back. It involves tears and pain and lots of struggle-but it gives you so much back. Lessons. Growth. Wisdom. Closure. Healing isn't like the process of an external scar being replaced with new skin. It's more like a broken ceramic glass being glued together with love, lessons and people.  You will heal through broken hearts and healthy relationships. You will heal through jobs and careers and friendships. You will heal as you adventure through life. You will heal as you leave the country, start a new adventure and give up an old love.  You will keep healing and healing. And it probably won't stop even when you're older. You will just get wiser. You will just get stronger. Healing won't act as an anesthetic that makes you numb. Instead, it will bring the pain to you and teach you how to live with it. That's what healing will do.         ...

                                              Hey, I know we weren't meant to be together And between us, this might never work at all. But what love would it be if I wasn't still happy for you When you parted from me and between us built a wall. Hey, I know you don't feel the same way And you can never reciprocate this feeling And you should know I don't feel upset In fact, I'm on my way to healing. Hey, I always knew I might never get you And we might not have our desired end So I just look for opportunities to talk to you. Becauese I'm okay being just a friend. Hey, I might not be the one And there's someone else who'll meet you in a while Who has been born with the streak of luck And who deserves to see your smile. But hey, when you smile I smile too. This big, goofy grin on my face. And I'll always be waiting at home for you. If you ever decide to stop by, in case. Bec...

                                                      I'll always belong  to myself even as many times as I'll try to give myself away and as many times as someone else will try and take it I'll always belong to myself and you'll always belong to yourself unions are not formed by giving yourself away but by coming together two minds two hearts two flames two contributors two architects building their mad or sadly sane worlds together I don't want to be you and I don't want you to be me the beauty the love comes from our acceptance of each others' souls
