Early mornings remind me of how far we come. Don’t be fooled by what seems to happen overnight because chances are it didn’t. Anything worth having is worth waiting for. Anything worth waiting for is worth fighting for. There is significance in how much our dreams can change us. The choices we make set balls in motion. Do you follow them?
I woke up one day with no recollection of who I was supposed to be. A parents impervious inflictions that were intent on strangling me but I slipped away. I knew better. This was a battle against nature vs. nurture and I was deemed to win.
My choices find me living a different life now and I don’t regret it. Even when I get restless sometimes for my old ways or the uneasy feelings of my past come to render me awake. There’s no going back now. There’s too much at stake.
My life is taking another turn for the better, proof that our resilient natures will always help us come out on top and sometimes it’s even far more fantastic than even we could have ever imagined.
Feel privileged to be so supported but always honor the past. You never know when it might come back to surprise you.
It’s a Saturday morning on the coast and the marine layer prepares to leave. The smell of rain is in the air and the cleansing should come soon. Being the over thinker has my brain working overdrive and the off button seems to be stuck. The dryer bustles in the background and the smell of dryer sheets is instantly calming. The sound of a flute joining the piano soothes my indecisive temperament while the perilous nature of uncertainty makes it’s own assessment. Birds take flight in unison and my puppy let’s me love him. The to-do list grows a mind of it’s own and you wonder why everything takes so long. You go out of your way to make things right but the light won’t turn green and the traffic can get backed up for miles. No one can let you down if you don’t allow them to hold you up. Birthdays come and go and breakfast isn’t ready yet. The iambic pentameter tries to find me today and that’s okay. We have come a long way from pictograms and it’s just another day. The rise and fall of Empires comes again. History has a way of repeating itself if you let it in. While breaking the binds of pattern can release you from sin. A society based in what’s it all for and how far have we really come? Are you willing to join your mirror or are you still wondering where you’re from? Sometimes a self inflicted lullaby can set you free as if you were a new found miracle left out for the world to see. And you are a new found miracle.
