Hey stranger,
I was reminded today that the mind is powerful,
words are powerful and not everyone has the tools needed to navigate life
We could cry about it but that quickly becomes a very real side effect of being human
We beat ourselves into what we think is normal or socially acceptable
You are still that great person you remember plus some extra magic
We are strong even in our worst days in that dark pit
We then have moments we realise that the table was never full we always had a seat
We belong we are different but that’s the beauty in you
I personally always thought my weakness made me less than
But slowly each day and trust each day is it’s own challenge
I take a deep breath and know I’m still here
I cannot tell you in words how I feel and the chaotic storm that’s constant in my mind
BUT, I am loved, I am cherished, I am not a burden and will continue to be me
And each year I learn and I continue to trust and face my terrors
Because I will be!
