I have learned my lessons through the contrasts of life.
I found my light by having fallen to the bottomless pit of my own darkness.
I encompass joy and happiness after having sat in my deep well of sadness.
I learned healing by feeling the intense pain of my inner wounds surfacing.
I emphasize compassion after having been cast out with the alienation of judgment.
I operate in kindness after having been treated unkindly and made to feel inferior.
I embody gentleness after having sailed through my own rough storms of growth.
I know the impact of giving as I know how it is to have been taken from.
I focus on all that I am with, for I have been without.
I embrace my beauty after being made to feel ugly.
I developed my sense of self-confidence and self-esteem after having been shamed.
I offer loyalty selectively after having been kissed with betrayal by those I once hugged with deep affection.
I stand for truth after having lied to become bound in its vicious cycle, and having been lied to and fallen for the deception of others to be played like a mere pawn in their games.
I am cleansing myself towards purity after growing through environments of impurity.
I continually choose love after having hated, and been hated.
I have freed my soul that I once had bound in the prison of my mind.
I gained wisdom by having been foolish.
To have been broken down in shattered shards to learn to piece myself back together, to then rise. To wander lost so as to find my way back to my true nature.
I have learned to approach life more open-minded with less judgment, as the very ideas, situations, or strange thoughts expressed that I had once been so quick to judge - I somehow found myself placed in those shoes to emerge from them with understanding and compassion that had me regret being so judgmental in my ignorance, inexperience, or close-mindedness.
There really is no place for judgement as we know not of what a person has had to choose from to make the decisions they had to make to be where they are at now, or why they are the way they are from traumas that shook their souls up and left them a bit broken and crooked.
The things that are easy or ordinary for us might be the very hardships or traumas of others to muster up all their courage within, just to do.
THE GROWTH
I feel the situations I have been in or who I am perceived to be on the mere surface has just been so misconstrued that I had to let down all my defenses and any tiring efforts to try to prove and explain myself otherwise, to just get to a point that I had to not give a damn what others thought to label me or gossip about me or my situation, and trust that I know my truth of the matter and that's who matters to know it. To not care whether others understand me or not as I must be sure of myself to understand me. To learn to trust myself, to know myself, to accept myself, thus - love myself. To always be authentically true to myself.
Now, I impart the lessons I have learned for my own soul's growth and wellness to you. So that together we may thrive as we continually transform through our experiences, splitting open so that our wings can emerge for our soul to take flight through healing, enlightenment, and thus, find empowerment to live freely and intentionally suited for the woman we each are.
I harnessed my voice after stifling myself in silence. Thus, I tapped into the art form of writing after having drawn it. I now impart my greatest masterpiece to you, for you.
With LOVE. Always,
