Each experience helps us grow.
We can take each interaction with others and allow them each to speak to us.
Sometimes it is a quick lesson.
Sometimes it is one that needs to sit with you for a while.
Though, you can learn something from each experience and from each interaction that can help you grow more, as a soul and as a human being.
Learn and move on.
Don’t let certain experiences hinder you from doing what you know is right for you.
Learn and let go.
Each person must find their own way and explore through life at their own pace.
A grown up might be struggling to move through childhood trauma.
A child might be more mature than their parents.
We can’t expect everyone to act their age or to be at a certain maturity or healing level, just because they have lived a certain amount of years on this earth.
Learning never ends.
Growing is continuous.
Be here.
Wherever you are.
Allow yourself to have peace with where you are and know that you are doing a good job.
– M.
Always trying to do things smarter,
Quicker,
With more clarity of the way things go.
Always wanting to learn more,
To understand better,
The way to do things with a better flow.

So many things left unsaid.
So many troubles lost without an end.
Blank stares after fights.
Lost words, from not enough strength to finish a line.
Builds up over time…
Trying to walk through that dining room with carpets full of piles…
Piles of words swept under the carpet.
Angry arguments left unfinished, just to build up over time, taking up space, draining energy and making you feel out of place.
Carpet piles…
Lost words that were left unsaid…
Feelings that get lost in your head…
Unfinished business, fights stopped short…
Never listening…
Never hearing…
It’s all so draining…
Tears so scattered like the sprayed spit from the nasty words that were yelled.
Stopping before anyone got hurt, but holding on still, enough to keep the pain inside still.
Swept under the carpet, to pull out again in time…
Never really feeling healed.
Always going on like nothing bad was ever said.
Why…
How can things ever heal in time, when they aren’t allowed to be spoken about…
Stop the avoidance.
Make a change, to make a difference.
Emotions are felt and need to be known.
Respect can be given, love can be shown.
Stop the carpet piles.
Acknowledge the hurt.
Understand the pain.
Stop the avoidance and make communication a positive thing.

Everything will be easy.
It will all go smoothly.
There will be no storms or rough waters.
Life will bring us so much goodness.
It will be everything we want it to be.
There will be no struggle.
There will be no pain.
Life is simple.
It is not complicated.
It is not complex.
Oh, life…
You had us fooled.
We had left home, at the ripe age of teenagers and had all the hopes and dreams of it all being so simple…
So easy…
Preoccupied with looks and friends and becoming wealthy, we thought that would be all we would need.
We though status was the answer.
We thought clothing and things would be our level up.
Life showed us that it is much more than that.
Life showed us the rough waters of being so surface focused, would surely make us drown.
What is on the outside does not make up for what is unfound on the inside.
The deepest sea has the coolest waters, and the more turbulent storms to face.
As with us, we have much depth, though not all of it was quite known or understood.
We thought we knew ourselves, within.
Our depths go much deeper than we knew before.
Now we see, a life with purpose for more than just material things…
A life of passion…
A life without greed or so many possessions…
This is the life we now seek.
We try to see the depths of others, while even just passing by.
A depth is beyond just a wave and a smile, for it goes deep, like the deepest of seas.
Love and care, and genuine concern.
Peace, kindness, a desire for more than just what one can take to the bank, this is what will keep us swimming, without tidal waves of the surface trying to pull us in.
When we leave this world, we hope to leave a mark.
Not one that can be seen or touched, but one that can be felt, like a feeling that calms the deepest sea.
A feeling that gives you a sense of understanding that all will be okay, even when no-one else is around.
Whether or not we have ever met, we hope it soars like a seagull though the winds, to each soul that is left on earth.
When all possessions are gone and the world is silent, we hope a feeling of peace is felt.
Maybe not from us, but maybe from the storms that pass and all that can be remembered is that feeling of goodness, that feeling of purpose.
Rough waters can always be beautiful to watch, as they roar and splash, they bring an electricity of their own.
Knowing each storm will pass, knowing we need nothing except for who we are, that is the peace that we will carry with us, if nothing else, that will be enough.
Hold this with you, carry it like a sack on a stick, for it is all you need to hold onto.
Life will bring storms.
Life will bring rough waters.
Even so, you will have purpose.
You will have peace.
Everything is there for you, it is all within.
