New Beginnings
I think that I am beginning to understand. That the whole world is inside me: in my perspectives and in my heart.
That to be able to find peace, I must be at peace with myself first; and to truly enjoy life, I must enjoy who I am; and once I learn how to master this, I will protected from everything that makes me feel like I can’t go on.
With this gift of recognizing myself, even when I am alone, I will never be lonely.
With this gift of recognizing myself I feel like I will finally be able to believe, in my heart, that I am meant to live a life full of passion and purpose. I will be able to live a life where I can be who I am meant to be without letting what other people think break me down.
This gift will be able to allow me to remind myself that it is ok to not be perfect. My flaws make me beautiful and they make me who I was always meant to be.
I used to feel as though I was gasping for air and now I feel like I can finally breathe. I used to feel like my heart was at war with my mind and now I feel like the war has finally ended. That the peace has been restored within my body. I used to feel alone and unloved but now I realize that I will never be alone if I know who I am. If I can stay true to myself I will never truly be alone.
I feel like I am so close to being in a place where my heart is full, my body loved, and my mind understood. A place where I can be happy again.
It has always been hard for me to imagine a future where I am good enough and now I feel like I am starting to see a future where that is possible.
