Sound — in verse awakening me to my potential…

A reflection on cardiac exhaustion

“I am not too hard to love or too much; if anything I should be a reflection of the love I choose to have. I am loved and deserve the love I give. “

I can’t really give her any advice, but I really feel like I need to talk to her. I need to let go of the burden on my shoulders and talk about how much I’ve changed and how much I’ve lost myself. 

I felt like I was a superhero being able to help everyone. But I wasn’t a superhero…

I‘ve been trapped in this narrative of “not fitting in” and disliking myself so much so that true self-love has been foreign to me. In fact, it’s been so much easier sitting in this place of self-hate than working towards anything else.

Hip dips galore. Stretchmarks spotlighted. Acne scars untouched. What does it feel like to love myself without inhibition?

My creativity longs to dance with the winds of my thoughts.

Though I am a mother, I am an individual who believes that motherhood should not strip away your identity; it also should not stop your internal and external growth, success, and fun.

I’m relearning how to love and honor my inner voice and spirit; I’m reprogramming the negative thought patterns and destructive self-talk that triggers self-doubt to rear it’s ugly head.

Good things can and will happen to you.

Choose which line speaks to you…

“Closing her eyes and beginning to run her right fingers through the strings playing the tune of her soul, she softened.”
