Most days I wake up ready for the world. Some days I wake up exhausted from trying to create a life that I own. Either way, I’m only here today. Tomorrow is not guaranteed. So, I feel all the things, try my best to release what doesn’t support me, allow my friends to have their own space, and give myself hugs each day. I love myself because I am finally making my dreams a reality and I have learned so much.
- Be a writer. Check.
- Be an artist. Check.
- Learn how to heal truama. Check.
- Lean how to grieve healthily. Check.
- Learn how to be my own best friend. Check.
- Learn how to play guitar. Check.
- Travel to a foreign country by myself. Check.
I still have a lot to learn, but I can feel pride in knowing what I have learned so far. As the song lyrics go, I don’t know where I’m going, but I know where I’ve been. For you, I hope today you wake up feeling ready for the world. I’ll hold space for you, but you need to hold space for yourself.
I dedicate this poem to all my friends and family who are trying. I love you….
