Breathe In. Breathe Out. Move On.

Words written by me and others to help get us through today.

Sunday’s are for lovers. Or at least that’s what I’d thought previously. Now it’s for early mornings Making breakfast before anyone else is awake Listening to your breathing Stumbling into the kitchen for that sacred first cup of coffee Sleepy smiles Cuddly dogs Sundays are not for lovers anymore They’re to find happiness in the smaller more valuable moments Sunday’s were for you But now they’re for me

“People need to be encouraged. People need to be reminded of how wonderful they are. People need to be believed in and told that they are brave, smart and capable of accomplishing all their dreams and more. Let’s remind each other of these.”

I am happy

You have become so much stronger and I won’t feel bad for myself any longer.

I watch this movie in peace it’s actually sort of neat

How far I’ve come I feel as though I have won

This thing called life, I’ve got it

I’ve got it not all figured out but thats what makes me feel I have it all figured out.

I don’t overreact to others reactions or under react to my emotions

I settle into the commotion and live

I breathe I feel I am okay. I am myself. I made it. I am whole. I am me and I am happy.

Find out

Find out who you like not who likes you

[cmweir]

I want to remind myself of my greatness. Reverse my thoughts when I am alone. Feel the soul I have been given a second chance to unveil. Inhale the life I have created. The joy I have experienced, because of me, for me. Reestablish the groundwork I have laid, and tug on it’s roots to test it’s strength. 

You are not going anywhere. You made this life for you. You have followed your principles, and will not give in to the anxiety that tells you otherwise. You have done right by you and everyone around you every day, and no one can ever take that from you. Feeling sad is a good excuse, but it will help no one. 

The energy you will regain must come from within. Your confidence must come from within. Your resilience is what you are most proud of. Practice it and feel it. Don’t do better, just do.

You can do this. You can be there for you. You don’t need distractions and noise to be happy. You decided that a long time ago. Don’t backtrack, don’t undo. This perspective is your choice. This is your life. Fight back. For you.

Find your energy.

I am empty.

I am frustrated and angry.

I want to be myself, be true to who I am.

But I fight each and every chance I can.

I am less than when people are more.

I have given up fighting this feeling Ive fought to ignore.

I have all of these things, I own all of these objects

Yet every time I turn around I wake up to empty pockets.

It angers me beyond belief that I cannot get a hold of myself.

When I initiate anything, I feel myself begin to melt.

It’s not worth it, my voice will whisper.

I wish I could get over this quicker.

I want to be amazing at something, anything.

I am hurting.

I am my own worst critic. 

Didn’t anybody ever tell you to stick with it?

Have Faith

The lightness in my bones gives me away

Im confident

I have faith

Im not afraid

are all things I say 

but my eyes struggle and my stomach turns

my bones thin and Im floating away

from the words Im fighting

Im fighting to have faith

Let’s not talk about life

or people or places

Let’s not talk about the things we have destroyed

craving of something more

eyes squinting, nail picking, head spinning

Shadows hovering far away

make me want to stay

what is left is unsure

and it’s not you, and it’s not because of me

It’s simply the nature of uncertainty

and I can’t breathe.

blinds reflecting on the curtains midday

Make me want to stay

it’s simple.

What in this universe will make this understandable 

Im uncomfortable

Moving too fast, relax

Make me want to stay.

Something new to try and I latched on

injecting it into my life

punctuating every moment

gasping for a fragment of just myself

yet I race on

with you by my side

I noticed you stopped writing

I noticed you stopped reading

I noticed you stopped reaching out to you friends

I noticed you looked confused

I noticed you aren’t you

[cmweir]

slow down

in your hurry you forgot to remember that your life is who you are when you are standing still

in your rush you might have missed that all of this business is extra 

and although it can be attractive, it is not beauty

Beauty is quiet and beauty is the slightest bit uncomfortable

it is knowing that despite everything else, you know you will make it

and not only that, but you might even enjoy it and find serenity in the idea, that although most things don’t and won’t work out in your favor

you will be okay.

Someday you will sleep with a feeling in your heart that they aren’t here to leave but to stay.

A day will come when the story inside you will want to breathe on its own. That’s when you’ll start writing.
