At the years passed.
Nice to read and share again. This piece I wrote at the beginning of 2023. Taking a look at how I’ve felt and the things I’ve experienced.
And I smile.
It sounds like a prelude to whatever has been happening in 2023 too.
Or a peek into the future even.
But I don’t end this year with heaviness. Even if it’s been emotionally tough. I end it exactly like this piece ends.
The end of 2022 felt heavy.
Heavy with the burden of loneliness.
Unfulfilled desires and wishes.
But not all of them were meant to be.
That’s one thing to remember.
One of many.
I’ve forgotten again…
How far I’ve come.
What burdens and challenges I’ve overcome.
And how blessed I am, despite it all.
How incredibly strong I am.
Born with the ability to transform.
I could even say…
I’m addicted to transformation.
There’s no better feeling than allowing everything heavy to fall.
See the lessons in the hardships.
At times, burn… to ashes.
Only to rise again, stronger than ever.
The light within.
Shining ever so brightly.
Pain turning into compassion.
Allowing forgiveness.
Embracing myself.
And the truth of life.
I continue learning.
Opening up myself more, to love.
And all the amazing gifts that come my way.
Finding ways to remind myself that I am more powerful than I ever allowed myself to be.
Looking back not just to find the faults in myself, other people, and situations in the past.
But to find my true self again, before it all.
Unlearn.
Let go.
Beliefs and fears that were never mine.
Traits I thought belonged to my character.
No.
That is not I.
Let’s go find the real me.
In the rubble.
Beyond the remnants of days no more.
That’s gonna be tough work.
But I’m so excited…
I smile to myself as I sit alone.
My heart feels joy.
Brighter days are ahead.
And I feel closer than ever…
To something truly magical.
I am ready to receive.
Thank you.
