I see you,
Hurting and not telling anyone.
I see you,
Falling and falling, struggling to pull yourself back up.
I see you.
It’s okay.
It’s all going to be okay.
You are safe.
⁃ M.
You are Safe
Belief
We are all diferent.
None of us the same.
You believe this.
They believe that.
It doesn’t matter.
It’s all the same.
You put them down,
For being different.
They lift you up,
For being the same.
Who holds the truth,
What is truth,
What is the meaning,
For this life,
For this world,
For none are the same.
There is no right.
There is no wrong.
A belief of a meaning,
A certain type of spiritual being,
It’s just love.
It’s all love.
One in the same.
Different, for each and every worldly being.
Love is the truth.
Love is the meaning,
Love is the reason,
Love is at the center,
Of all things.

Pressure
Do you ever feel like you are being squished by all the pressures of this natural world?
Life.
Circumstances.
Insecurities.
Uncertainties.
Expectations.
Obligations.
So much weight, so many things pushing on you, sometimes it feels like its coming from all sides.
One day you feel good and fine, then the next day you feel this overwhelming sense of sadness.
Overwhelming pressure.
A deep longing to let go, but you don’t quite know how.
You feel a loss of the ability to hold it all together, and you just want to let go and let it all crumble and fall away.
But you don’t.
You feel the emotions, and understand the pressure and remember what you are doing it for.
You remember who you are here to support and teach.
You look around and see how far you’ve come.
You see all of those who are doing their best to encourage you, because they believe in you.
You remember where you want to go.
Still, the tears flow.
The emotions sit, like a deep weight, a heavy rock in your gut.
You don’t know when you will get to where you want to be.
You feel stuck.
You feel lost.
Growth is full of pain.
Healing hurts.
Life is full of pressure.
Life is full of pain.
Don’t let it hold you down.
Don’t let it take control.
Expectations, interpretations of experiences, so many obligations…
People, places, finances, politics…
So many things taking over your mind and flooding into your peaceful space.
They are not as important as your mental health and well-being.
You are important.
Remember why you are here and see that pressure as nothing more than an interpretation of expectations that are not requirements.
The only thing that is required is that you are okay.
If you don’t feel okay for a little while, or even for a day or so, its okay.
It will pass.
This is temporary.
You are an eternal being, you are a beautiful soul, full of endless possibilities and gifts to explore, in this natural world.
Stand up, shake it off, dance a little and smile.
You are still here to fulfill your destiny.
You are still here to shine your beautiful light.
Your strength will continue to grow and you will continue to heal.
Enjoy your journey.
Not every day will be easy.
Not every road will feel like the right one.
Sometimes you’ll feel alone and sad, and confused, but that is okay.
You will continue to get through each new pain.
You will see rain, rainbows, sunrises, sunsets, and many, many storms in between.
Feel it all.
Experience it all.
All of it is necessary.
You will grow to appreciate each experience, for they are each important.
Pressure comes from expections.
There are no expectations worthy of losing your peace over.
Let go and let it flow.
Be still.
Run fast.
Whatever you need to do.
Most of all, give thanks for this life.
Gratitude heals and the more you give thanks, the more you see how much there is to be grateful for.
Remember that you are a gift.
Thank you for being here and for choosing to stay and continue on your journey.
May you always find your way back to your center.
Let go, and find your peaceful place.
You are worthwhile.

Promises to Myself
I promise to always be my best friend, for too long I have been my worst enemy.
I promise to stop thinking of myself as not enough, or too much, I am enough.
I promise to always allow laughter and joy, for a life lived too seriously is not an enjoyable life.
From now until my last breath, I promise to always share kindness instead of gossip.
If I ever forget any of these, may I quickly remember them, because without these promises, life just isn’t quite as good.
-M.
Strength on the Horizon
You may not always feel it, but you are stronger than you think.
Look at where you are today, it wasn’t always easy, it wasn’t always a piece of cake.
You have fought through many battles, and you have stood your ground.
Look at where you are today, you are stronger than you think.
Yesterday, you may have been full of more motivation, but now here you are, you have gained more momentum, and now you have more power and distance, as those past battles are moving further and further away.
Look at where you have been before, lost and fighting, forever wondering what would come from all the war.
You are here now, a fighter, a warrior, you are stronger than you think.
Look at the clock, it ticks without looking back, unknowing of anything except each tick forward, but you can look back, and you can look to the horizon, if you need more hope, for there is always more strength to come, on the horizon.
You have come this far, you have made it here, let it all be and let that worry go.
You are stronger than you think.
-M.
Protection
You cover me with so much love.
You have helped me feel safe.
Making sure there is a balance so I can still feel independent and gain more self-confidence, in my own space.
Yet, however you can, you protect me.
You keep me covered and safe through all of the storms.
Wherever I go, I know you will be close.
Near or far, you are always there.
Thank you, you have become my safe space.
I didn’t know how much I needed you until I finally found you.
Now here we are, so far, yet closer than ever before.
-M.
Love Lost in the Woods
I hear you….
You call my name.
Sometimes I think I see you, maybe your shadow… but then it’s gone just as soon as it appears.
I wish I could feel you…
I want to know your warmth…
Your smells…
Your sounds…
These woods are thick with nature.
The trees go on and on, for what seems like, forever.
I miss you, yet we have never met…
How I have longed for you, my love, lost in these woods of a million trees.
Though, I have survived and grown, preparing to be with or without you, amongst these trees that have protected me for so long.
When it’s late and dark, and I can’t seem to fall asleep, I try to imagine who you are.
How you look.
How you talk and move.
What you might wear.
Oh these woods…
These woods could surely tell you about me…
How I hunt, and survive.
How I heal and grow.
What I find for shelter, and how I talk to nature.
These woods could sing to you, from my heart.
They are the very soul of me.
These woods, they have healed me.
When I find you, you will see, we will feel lost in the middle of these deep woods, but never really be, for we will have each other.
When I find you, my love, we will finally be free.
-M.
Gone
There you were, walking in the fog.
We had been apart for so long.
It felt like a lifetime has passed by, since you’ve been gone.
Though, there was no embrace.
There was no tear in your eye, not even a drop that would make its way down your face.
It was as if you were different.
Your heart had changed.
My heart seemed to go silent, no longer could I feel its beat.
My lungs were waiting, desperately, hoping to again, soon, be able to breathe.
It was as if we could no longer be.
As I stood before you, there was a silent storm starting to thunder inside of me.
You turned away.
I couldn’t find the words to ask you to stay.
You were gone.
-M.
Here
I wanted to be here, this is where they told me to be.
They said I would do well here.
They told me this was where I was meant to be.
I waited and tried.
Gave it my all, even when I felt like each time was my last, again I tried.
I listened and followed, then I realized…
I cannot follow.
I must learn for myslef.
I must find a new place.
That was a big truth to swallow.
To be here, to understand…
To feel free, to be able to independently stand…
I finally get it.
I finally understand.
I am always exactly where I need to be.
Yes, here, but also, not where they told me I should be.
Here is within me.
Here is wherever I am, wherever I need to be.
-M.
