Be FREE
Thank you for Being Here
Love and Hate
You grew up in a world that was surrounded by confusion.
So many things seemed to be simple.
So many things seemed to be unobtainable.
You grew to think you understood love.
You grew to feel all too familiar with hate.
A mixed bag of things…
Hate vegetables, love video games.
Parents argued, hate your dad.
Love books, hate school.
So easy.
It’s all so normal.
Though, you felt lost and unsure, never really fitting in.
Seemed like life could be pretty easy, once you grew up to be over 18.
Yet, it didn’t get much better, more rules, less freedom.
You thought it might be different.
Thought it could be easier.
You wanted to grow up and be free, yet now you see it isn’t quite so easy.
What happened to all your dreams?
What happened to all those fancy things?
Didn’t you dream about becoming rich?
Didn’t you think it would be like the flip of a switch?
Wake up and you’re an adult, now the world will be yours to take…
Love and hate.
It’s a real battle.
Freedom and fate…
It’s like eating cake.
You don’t really know, until you grow up and find out…
That cake will now make you gain weight.
Now you also have to pay for that cake.
Then you have to run a mile, or two, to burn off that cake.
Being an adult, it’s not quite so easy, you see.
You thought you understood it all.
You thought you could live easily.
You thought life would be so simple.
Now you have to eat your vegetables and video games are a thing of the past.
Love and hate.
Now you know love is better, and hate is a waste of energy.
Being kind is a better use of your time, but it’s also overwhelming…
Being kind can make you seem weak.
Now you have to learn boundaries.
What even are boundaries and why are they a thing…
Let’s not even get into the complicated world of dating.
Men and women.
Men or women.
You really don’t even need any of that anymore.
It is really not an area you would enjoy to explore.
Time is ticking, and skin is wrinkling.
One day maybe there will be time to just exist.
No worries.
No fears.
No bills.
Not even a doctor promised happy pill.
Just a long moment to remember the freedom of being a child, without a worry about love or hate or anything other than… oh wait…
Let’s take a step back – it is not about love and hate.
It’s just about you.
You must accept your fate.
Dream big.
Find time to play.
Balance it all out.
Try not to stay up too late.
Life is what you make it.
Create it.

You Bring the Light
Life and Love
How do you love…
How do you heal…
How do you live life in a world that wants to tell you who you are, and how you feel.
How do you love yourself or anyone else when you are so confused about how things in this world work.
Explain yourself.
Express your needs
Explore yourself.
Understand who you are.
Find your inner voice.
Find peace with others, and within yourself.
Love…
Loving you is such a gift.
Each and everyday, I feel more of my pain lifting away.
With each breath, I feel more at ease.
The child inside of me feels set free.
You have given me a fresh new life, a new breath, and more reason to be me.
You have given me the ability to let go, for all that I held inside was creating more pain, life that needed to renew, to grow.
You, not a person, not a thing, you are the me that I had lost, the soul that I have again found.
I am bringing you back to me.
My higher self, the life, the love, for which
I exist.
Life…
To live in this life is also to be challenged.
Given one experience after another, to try to find your way through, like guiding a boat through the fog, with no light to see the way.
Feeling your way through each day…
To adjust your sails, is like getting caught in a wave.
You cannot see from day to night or night to day; it is a mess of things, with each new challenge that gets in your way.
From the light of the day, there is some guidance, yet it is disoriented from all of the winds of others opinions, and the need they have to tell you which way.
Let me be frank…
You choose your way.
At the end of the day, you are the only one who has the authority to say…
“This is the way.”
“My direction is here, and I am choosing the way.”
“My path has lead me to exactly where I need to be and it has helped shape me into who I need to be, to get me to where I need to be, the guidance is within me and I know the way.”
This strength, it is to help me push.
This defensiveness, it is to help me believe in my ability to be a the guiding wheel of my own journey.
This intuition, it is here to guide me through, as winds and rain try to misdirect me.
There will be storms.
There will be clear skies.
There will be pain.
There will be many things…
But in the end, it will all be okay.
Along the journey, it will be okay.
There will be plenty of all that is needed.
Along this journey, there will be more beauty than you will ever believe.
In this life, you will always know the way.
