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 build such an unshakable bond
with your worth that there’s just
nothing anyone can ever do
to take you away from it.

your heart is too
special to not be carried
kindly, to not be held like
it’s magic

for so long
i wanted you to hold me
until i realized how small you
needed me to be to fit
within your grasp

vibrate so high,
and radiate from so deep,
from so much within your heart,
from your essence, from your soul,
so that no one can come close to you
without destiny’s blessing
in their hands

The Beautiful Things They Do…
if you keep trying to find love
with people who are broken inside
you will spend your energy and the moments
of your life, so lost, searching for understanding
of why they do all of the harmful, destructive
things they do…
but if you can be patient with love,
and save yourself for a love
with someone who is whole within,
then you will get to live your moments
and spend this journey endlessly in awe of the
way they do all of the stunningly
beautiful things they do.

what you go to just
because you’re lonely isn’t love,
what you’re drawn to when you’re
in your light…
that’s where you’ll find love

you have a
beautiful heart, babygirl,
and it’s meant to know
a beautiful love

you’ll know…
not just in the way they look at you,
but in how they’re not looking
anywhere else

i know that i will never, ever be able to love myself if i keep apologizing for how other people have decided to feel about me.

there are things
i am learning not to apologize for…
– the way i express myself
– the way i am discovering myself
and growing into myself
– the way i take up my own space…
the space that is meant for me
– the things someone else may not like about me
but that i like about me
…because none of these things are anything wrong
with me. they are things that are right in me. and those
are things i should never have to be sorry for.
