it’s ok to take small steps and deep breaths, love…

it's ok to take small steps and deep breaths, love... but you also have to learn to take up your own space

it’s ok to take
small steps and deep breaths, love…
but you also have to learn to take up your own space.
and to not say you’re sorry when you do.
and you’re going to be rejected for these
wings you’re growing and these fires you’re starting…
for all of this sweet and wild rebellion in you…
but these are such. beautiful. things.
so you have to keep choosing you.
because nothing will matter if you reject you.
if it needs you small… you just can’t
let it hold you still anymore.

to be with someone who will let you breathe here…

to be with someone who will let you breathe here. and just be here. and not ask anything else of you

to be with someone
who will let you breathe here.
and just be here.
and not ask anything else of you,
not to tangle in their weaknesses
or to heal their wounds…
they’ll just want to know you…
and have you know them.
someone who just lets you
feel beautiful here
while you wonder of your
dreams together in the
glow of the moon.

Journey Companions Prayer… please let the ones on my journey…

please let the ones on my journey be here for the soul sparks... for us to see them in each other

Journey Companions…

please let the ones on my journey be here to run wild with me… never try to keep each other small or hold each other back. and let them want me to breathe and grow and bloom and bloom and bloom… and please let me want to give them all of the same breathing room and growing space, too. and let them be here to be beautiful and good to my heart and soul… but if they are not, help me to learn the lessons they are here to teach me… and help my heart to let them go. and please, let the ones on my journey be here for the soul sparks… for us to see them in each other and to remind each other of them when we can’t see them in ourselves… may we light each other’s way and guide each other home.
