I Am The Master Of My World @herowncrown - Tumblr Blog

Current events have me feeling jaded

frustrated

most certainly not liberated

why am I being ripped of the choice

for control over my body

to use my own voice

I’ll climb another mountain to feel alive

To ease the anxiety that I feel inside

Or drift out to the coast

Sit by the ocean that I love the most

I’ll catch the cherry blossoms in the distance

Reminded that anything is possible with persistence

I haven’t lost hope yet, have you?

I know we have so much work to do

In ways this all feels like a dream

A nightmare of impeding doom

Maybe I’ll open my eyes to a new day

And like the cherry blossoms in may, maybe the rest of the country will bloom.

Days like this when my world feels dark. Lost like the frigid air missing it's sunshine. I once had a fire but it's missing its spark. The walls are caving in but I tell them I'm just fine.

My innocence has been long stripped away. Like the leaves off the trees as the snow hits the ground. Whispering to one another of how they've gone grey. They call out to me, but I'm nowhere to be found.

Last year around this time I opened the wrong door. I was given a match that set my soul ablaze. Then it suffocated my lungs knocking me to the floor. Days like this I wish I never caught their gaze.

But if the caterpillar can turn into the butterfly. And the trees stand tall waiting for spring to arrive. the stubborn sun always finds its way back in the sky. Then on days like this I can find hope in being alive.

I will leave my sorrows out there in the dark. Stop waiting for something outside to ignite. The trees lose their leaves but never their bark. The flame is within me, with it I'll shine bright. | finding my way back. ✨

“I still don’t know how to love someone without swallowing them.”

— Blythe Baird

Forgive me. I didn’t see you there. I must have gotten accustomed to not being alone within my own body.

Forgive me for mistaking your kindness with ulterior motives. Ill try and forget the sweet symphonies whispered in my ear, as he lightly gazed the back of my neck.

Forgive me for not speaking up when you spoke to me. Ill try and forget his finger pressed against mine, dragging me me into the shower.

That was the day I was told my voice didn’t matter.

Forgive me for not showing any emotion back to you. Ill try and forget the tears rolling down my cheeks, as he forced his body against mine. Why bother to cry when you’re not even seen?

Forgive me for not wanting to eat much at dinner. I’ll try and forget how he feasted on my body like I was the last supper. With no remorse. Hungry like a

wolf. Keeping my bones as souvenirs.

Forgive me for not letting you stay the night. Ill try and forget how quickly my temple was invaded. How the walls were knocked down. How the water rushed in fueling his thirst.

Forgive me for not feeling clean since that day. I’ll try and forget how the water reminds me of war against my own body.

Forgive me for appearing aloof. I’m afraid to become someone’s temptress.

I’m a queen, not a damsel in distress. Forgive me for forgetting that

Sophia Loren, 1955

“I have my own peculiar yardstick for measuring a man: Does he have the courage to cry in a moment of grief? Does he have the compassion not to hunt an animal? In his relationship with a woman, is he gentle? Real manliness is nurtured in kindness and gentleness, which I associate with intelligence, comprehension, tolerance, justice, education, and high morality. If only men realized how easy it is to open a woman’s heart with kindness, and how many women close their hearts to the assaults of the Don Juans.”

Real talk becoming vegan is one of the best things to ever happen to me

It was hard and scary at first, I felt hopeless and sad and alone, I often considered giving up because I thought “What’s the use? It’s not gonna change with me”.

But now I feel inspired, I want to fight harder, I have a sense of community, and I love being a vegan.

I’m about to get real and deep because I like to. Tonight I watched an animal cruelty video, a video of Syrian refugees, a video of a father who just lost his daughter to the recent school shooting, and one of the columbine shooters mother speak. What did I gather? What I already knew. The world is filled with suffering. We are all affected. Our actions matter. What we do, say here on out matters. What kind of world do you want to live in? I ventured out to Thailand two years ago because I felt lost. I was sitting with a bachelors degree I wasn’t using. I was bored and unsure of who I was. I wanted to see the world, maybe start a travel blog, live for me. I didn’t have a passion for teaching but I needed $. Teaching in a foreign country was challenging in the best way. Leo was a student of mine who was considered “bad” by the Thai teachers. They encouraged his desk to be separated from the rest of the class. Leo needed extra help, patience, understanding. He had a behavioral issue that was overlooked because of the lack of knowledge in the school. I stayed with him after school and did my best to work with him. I realized then that I couldn’t just sit on a beach sipping a coconut. There is too much need, too much suffering. To help another we must first help ourselves. I healed myself in Thailand. Forcing myself in complete solitude was the best thing I could have done for myself. Teaching opened my eyes and enabled me go home to pursue my future career which is something I feel I wouldn’t have done without the experience. My point of this reflection is that right now matters. Even if it isn’t where you want to be it matters. Have some compassion and patience with not only others but yourself. One small act of kindness goes a long way. We won’t be remembered by the car we drive, how much we weigh on the scale, but rather who we were, how we treated others. Who do you want to be?
