Be gentle.....to yourself. Oh how this assignebt be is difficult for me. I'm so used to pushing through it all. Breathing deep and pushing through the pain. But the world is different now.
The sharp edges remains, hurts continue to happen. Rather than bleeding from them I bandage the wounds and smile. For there will always be suffering, but that doesn't mean I can't fill the holes with joy.
Once someone took so much joy in me, my skin; they found me fascinating and smiled with joy when they saw me. I got lost in that. Now just a memory, but a huge reminder that I AM ENOUGH. You are enough.
You don't have to sacrifice your being to love. I'm learning I can still love myself without you. And I'm enough. Glimmers and flickers of joy fill my mind and mend my dreams.
Someday I will explore Portland. I will stand on Bleeker and 6th in the city. I will sing songs and dance in the rain. I will find myself completely fascinating. And blessed be whomever joins me on that journey!
