Mystifying, Complexity, Hopeful.
These are the words built into this skyline.
A testament to how far we’ve come as a societal force –
such force creating immense distractions to our commitments.
Endless opportunity. Loud interruptions. Ingrained acceptance.
Until it quiets.
_
And its you standing there with you.
This year silenced some of the chaos I never got to.
Thinking some of the confusion I felt was normal and part of a season.
Telling myself a story that my wants weren’t as important as my needs.
Mystified by connection, losing light within myself.
Until no longer.
_
This year has given me friendships to remind me how far I’ve come.
Support systems that matter.
Motivation.
Conversations to discuss complexities.
Books holding my hand.
_
The year had me trapped in two rooms of my apartment.
Words written on mirrors, journals full of rewriting
my story
my goals
my wants
My Hopes.
Command.
_
I’ve never been so many places in the same place.
This year happened for a reason.
Be still.
Your mind can win. It can take you where you need to be.
To hope.
_
Be still
And let the vision become
Your Light.
_
The skyline makes no promises.
The force is inside of you.
You make all the promises.
The rest is background noise.
Stand tall.
