Earphones On

One word, TENACITY! Thank you

The hardest part about moving on is realizing that you didn't mean as much to someone as they meant to you.

Maybe one day I'll heave a sigh of relief and realize I was not crazy after all for choosing me and my dreams over yours.

QUIETLY LETTING GO

If being with me, caused you to become toxic

I would gladly let go of you for you

Being beside me might have caused you your delay

Delay in your purpose for this life

I would sever our ties just so you could move forward in life

All I wish is the best for you in this life

The dreams that you have for the world

I want you to achieve them all

And if I'm the obstacle in your life

I would gladly remove myself just so you could soar higher

I love you like a friend would, a sister

If letting go of your hand was all it took

For you to break free from this stagnant life

I would do everything I could to let go of you

Even if that meant watching you succeed in life from afar

I understand the consequences of letting go of this beautiful thing

That our relationship will never be the same

I would never be able to be silly and crazy around you

Come running to you whenever my world is falling apart

But I care more about you that I'm willing to sever it

Now I see you succeeding in life

doing the things you loved doing

being able to be what you always dream of

Even though it hurts that I can't be close to you like before

It's worth seeing the genuine smile on your face that I would do it all over again.

I’m slowly learning that some people aren’t good for me, no matter how much I love them.

I don't have the mental space or energy for writing, but the ideas are percolating and one day they will bubble over and spill out on the paper and then you'll all see!!

Storms

Amidst the storms and thunders

The battles that you're fighting in silence

getting deep and healing yourself all on your own

uncovering every trauma and insecurities within you

In this journey of letting go of grudges and bitterness

My dear, I know it's hard and painful

But I hope you know the latter is a relief,

All the burdens you piled onto yourself

When you let go of it all and forgive yourself

What a relief and peace it brings to your soul

So in this journey of uncovering that you're going through

A journey that you need to take alone

don't give up! think of your past self

keep pushing forward for your future self

And have faith for your present self
