Embracing Growth and Self-Love

Behind every tear, there is an expression

A longing that cannot be expressed

Withering away inside Through negative expressions

Perhaps it's insomnia,

Perhaps it's anxiety,

Perhaps it's physical pain...

Symptoms are reminding us

At this age, it's time to listen to the deepest desires within ourselves

When we take responsibility for our own needs

We return to our own power.

For things we cannot let go of, we can learn to "let it be" 

Provide a gentle place

Store the entanglements, emotions,

And the pain we can't let go of

People won't change unless they feel loved

People won't change unless they feel loved

People won't change unless they feel respected

People won't change unless they are allowed not to change

Rather than resist, we should flow

Rather than change ourselves, we should welcome ourselves

Growing up isn't about getting rid of the past

It's about creating a bigger space

To hold the past, and then -

Letting new things come in
