Let everyone who taught you about all the ways to feel insignificant lead you to all that is significant about you.

What if sensitivity is a sign you’ve broken through? What if vulnerability is a symptom of your growing strength? What if feeling like you no longer fit in is the confirmation of your initiation toward soulful truth? What if fear is the way out of self-sabotage? What if confusion is the ignition of your imagination? What if restlessness is proof you have ample energy? What if resistance represents a door to unlimited possibility? What if you woke up today and weren’t afraid anymore? What if all you need to do is be you? Now.

When you want the same safety, beauty, comfort, and protection for the world as you want for yourself, you move us all a little bit closer toward heaven on Earth.

I don’t want to wait until the last dance to realize that when life whispered, “Take a chance,” it meant for me to follow the ache in my heart, the hunger in my bones, and to allow myself to be led by the footsteps of my soul.

I used to think I’d be alone forever. Strange. Misunderstood. Aching to create, but too hurt to move. Then one day, I started to share my weird. My bizarre, my darkest-part-of-the-night poetry, and the scarred lining of my broken, hopeful heart. I was greeted by other wounded and open beings. Dream weavers, love warriors, and magic-makers. And together, we’re walking each other home.

When I realized my pain came from wanting to be liked, I started to love myself.
When I realized my pain came from wanting to be acknowledged, I began to see the woman I really was.
When I realized my pain came from hoping to be special, I set out to explore the depths of my normality.
When I realized my pain came from wanting to be held, I let myself feel the sensations of my body.
When I realized my pain came from craving to belong, I took the first steps to nourish my authentic self.
When I realized my pain originated from the actions of others, I began to accept responsibility for my own story.
When I realized my pain came from chasing those who didn’t want me, I set myself free.

She wakes you up.
She reminds you
that you can make things happen.
That you have something wicked to offer.
She cures your low self-esteem.
And watches you cry mid-story.
She shouts, “Hold on!”
Even when there’s nothing left in you.
Even when the life you’ve built gets broken.
She knows you can keep yourself together.
She sees you.
And she bows to your risk.
’Cause queens never give up.
She wakes you up.
That’s just what she does.
~Best Friend

She lets go of one life, only to enter another. Clarity dwindles and is then birthed again. Creativity dies and returns from its ashes. Love fades and blossoms passionately once more. Pain loosens its grip only for her wounds to reopen.
To truly live means to embrace and withstand new beginnings, scary endings, and all the meaningful stuff in between over and over again.
