if anyone or anything needs my spirit to be small…

if anyone or anything needs my spirit to be small... i'm finally learning to walk away

if anyone or anything
needs my spirit to be small,
i’m finally learning to walk away…

because there is just nothing i
could lose that i would ever miss as
much as i have missed the feel of my own
soul when i wasn’t listening to it.

i am willing to grow… this is my agreement with myself…

the first step in setting yourself free... i am willing to grow

the first step in
setting yourself free…
i am willing to grow.

This is my agreement with myself. In all of the places and circumstances and situations in my life where I feel stuck, to be willing to grow. To be willing to listen to what something is showing to me or asking from me. To understand that even though I may not have control over things happening around me, or even always to me, I am still always responsible for my own energy within those experiences. And I can still always look for movement and change within my own space that I hold. And that’s where my freedom will come from. So, instead of fighting against the things outside of me that may make me feel like I’m stuck, being open to where I can grow, to grow out of them.

another life…

i can no longer wear that shade of unworthiness, or hold that self-unkindness

and if you
took me for granted…
you must know that that
was another life.
and i have found my way
to a new life.
and you are just not welcome here.

because i can no longer
wear that shade of unworthiness,
or hold that self-unkindness,
that let me live a life
where the people i let close to me
ever treated me as anything less than
a blessing in theirs.

and every time they try to make you feel unworthy…

just go towards yourself. choose to love yourself more.

and every time they
try to make you feel unworthy…

just go towards yourself.
choose to love yourself more.
and build such an unshakable bond
with your worth that there’s just
nothing anyone can ever do
to take you away from it.
