Do you ever get a feeling of restlessness? One that seems to come from inside. And you don’t know what’s wrong or why. Has your life turned out the way you’ve always dreamed of? What is it that you’ve dreamed of? But do you ever wonder if those dreams are truly yours? Or were they something you thought you should be doing because that’s just how life is? That voice inside you. It’s your soul. It’s paid its dues. Time to set it free.

Things aren’t easy, are they? But it’s sure easy to tell someone to keep going. It might be even harder to listen to these words when all you want to do is give up. You don’t have to listen. But can you imagine what your life would be like if you just tried one more time? If you just kept going? All the way till you succeeded. Reaching your goals can be the sweetest thing, but don’t forget to make the best out of the journey. Even with all the bumps, holes, and stones on the road. Once you’re there, what’s next?

No one else knows what’s best for you better than you do. Only you know who you truly are. This knowledge can be clouded by the things you’ve been told throughout your life. You may have to unlearn everything you know about the world to find yourself again. Strip away the masks you’ve put on unknowingly. Be honest with yourself. Listen. Your heart speaks.

Are you holding onto bad memories? Holding a grudge? Keeping all the pain inside? Letting go of all the things that have been holding you back and weighing you down will allow you to heal. First and foremost, forgive yourself. And forgive those who have hurt you. That doesn’t mean that what they did wasn’t wrong, but it will set you free. Make space for bigger and better things in your heart and your life. It’s time to let it all go. A new chapter begins once you close the old one.

Have you been holding back? Toning it down? Changing your words or actions? Not everyone will be able to handle your glow. But that doesn’t matter. Fear no more. Hide no more. Radiate the beauty that’s been hidden inside. Smile, because the world is watching.

Kindness goes a long way. It’s more powerful than mean words. Even someone deserves it. Or do they? But a more important question to ask is… Are you kind to yourself? Or are you judging your body, your failures, your thoughts, your choices…? Being kind to yourself is probably one of the hardest things to do, but it’s as essential as breathing or eating. You deserve kindness, love, and everything else you’ve ever dreamed of.

It’s easy to believe that you’re wrong when you’ve been told that you should live a certain way, that you must follow the rules set by society. The way you dress. The things you like. The people you love. None of it is wrong, regardless of what others say or think. Nothing is absolute. Nothing is eternal. You will be the happiest once you realize that being true to yourself is the best way to live. Being yourself is the greatest gift you can ever give to the world. Even if it’s not always appreciated.

They say that hurt people hurt people. No matter what, don’t lose the love you were born with inside your heart. It doesn’t mean you must be quiet or accept any negativity or hatred towards you and those you care about. Just don’t be yet another stepping stone to more misery and pain. Love is more powerful than anything else. And do remember that the one you should love the most is yourself.

HAPPY PRIDE! I did a thing... Enjoy! How often have you felt powerless? How many times have you given your power away? If it’s out of your grasp right now, take it back. Don’t let anyone make you believe that you must obey, that you have no choice. Yes, there are things that must be done, but ripping your blossoms away to suit others isn’t one of them. Your power is yours. Own it. Be it.

Since I write poetry, why not share it here as well.
