Something I drafted up walking and reflecting sometime on July 31st and cleaned up just now while resting my sore body from dance in bed, sweet bed:
It started out in my phone’s notes app like this: “Something I wish my younger self knew: – “
Don’t victimize yourself
You’re wasting your time
Visualizing into existence
an iron prison for your mind
You’ll lock your personhood for years
Telling yourself that you have no control
That life is scary,
That things are ruthless,
That everything is meaningless.
But Change the narrative
And you’ll seek and find
Keys
More than prison //
The things that happened
You can’t chase them away as if they’ve never happened
But will yourself
And let them go
And you’ll find, you’ll see
Your power once lost
restored, redeemed.
