My own two eyes don’t see the world the same way, so how can I expect someone else to?

Happiness

We all long for happiness.

We all chase for happiness.

Ironic.

As happiness comes from within.

You’re already there.

You don’t run, you dig.

It’s funny. I haven’t logged on in a very long time. I’ve been missing something for awhile.

Searching, and coming up short.

And tonight? Tonight I logged on, re-traced my steps.

And found exactly what I needed.

[findingmyvoice-alossforwords]

And here I find myself, years later, in the same place.

Things have changed, things are different, and yet.. the same..

But I know I’m getting closer..

They say “the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.”

But I know that with a strong imagination, that apple can grow legs and run far, far away.

I’m afraid

I’m afraid of losing

But I’m afraid of winning

I’m afraid of not being good enough

But I’m afraid of being the best

I’m afraid of failing

But I’m afraid of succeeding

I’m afraid of not knowing who I am

But I’m afraid to be me

I’m afraid of holding things in

But I’m afraid of opening up

I’m afraid

But I’m going to do it anyway.

I received bad news today.

Bad news that breaks you from the inside.

But yet, it opened doors.

I felt the pain, yes.

But I saw an opportunity

To make amends

To not forget, but learn

And forgive.

Things really do happen for a reason.

And when there is pain, struggle and vulnerability

There is room for growth.

[thehopefulquotes]

“I used to dislike being sensitive. I thought it made me weak. But take away that single trait, and you take away the very essence of who I am. You take away my conscience, my ability to empathize, my intuition, my creativity, my deep appreciation for the little things, my vivid inner life, my deep awareness of others’ pain, and my passion for it all.”
