the turning point…

The Turning Point…

let go your fear
as it falls
beautiful, be still
this untangling of it all
let your bones fill with might
let your lungs fill with free

don’t look back.

settling will always
leave the heart
relentlessly unsettled

– butterflies rising

codependency
doesn’t keep you warm…
it keeps you from breathing
fresh air

i’m learning to be more careful with
my care full heart, and to care less for
the ones who are careless with it

– butterflies rising

all i’ve ever wanted…
is to know that i matter. by myself.
for myself. and belonging to myself.
chosen by no one, but me.

i think one of the saddest
connections is the rebound relationship…
you’re using one person to try
to unlove another.

so there’s nothing pure or honest
in what that relationship is, or ever will be,
as you’ve carried into it an unhealed bond
to what was.

take time to cleanse, to heal, to renew,
to grow, to become.

take time
to cleanse,
to heal,
to renew,
to grow,
to become.

love won’t
ask you to be less of yourself,
it will invite you to
become more and more of you,
to step into all of you

– butterflies rising

but if it’s love,
when it asks you to come along,
it will not ask you to leave yourself behind…

love won’t ask you to be less. of. yourself.
it will invite you to become more and more of you,
to step into all of you.

– butterflies rising

please quiet the noise in my head so i can hear the voice in my heart

– butterflies rising

clarity…

may this stillness stay
and quiet the noise in my head
so i can hear the voice in my heart

– butterflies rising

self-love
