Be free.
Reminder: Feeling and being free starts within yourself. Sometimes the way out, actually starts with going inside.
You are free...
to make space for all of you, because every part belongs,
to stand up for what you believe, even if you stand alone,
to mess up, and give yourself grace,
to mess up, and give yourself grace,
to make (many) more mistakes, and let that be ok,
to learn from failures, because this is how you grow,
to tell the truth, even if it hurts,
to face your fears, and see it's not so bad,
to show up, even when you want to hide,
to take a break, just because you want,
to ask for what you want, and accept how they respond,
to love, even when it's not returned,
to be kind, even when they aren’t,
to feel, even when it hurts,
to find peace, even amidst the chaos,
to rise up, and ignore attempts to cut you down,
to have a voice, even if they don't want to hear,
to walk away from what will not work, and walk towards what can,
to honor where you've been, because it made you who you are,
to be proud of yourself, because look how far you’ve come,
to define your world, because remember - it doesn’t define you,
to be yourself, and let go of what they think,
to be human, and just embrace the ride.
You are free, to be free.
