The Caterpillar Who Grew It's Wings

I am organized.  I plan out my life.  I give myself time.  I spend my time wisely. I complete tasks bit by bit. I am structured. I am free. I am not overwhelmed. But I am organized. I plan out my life. And I give myself time. Ashe.

I deserve a love that's consistent. If someone walks out of my life, they weren't meant to stay. If I walk out of someone's life, I trust my decision.  A failed relationship doesn't mean that I've failed. I allow myself to feel pain. I do not identify with my pain. I allow myself to grieve. I do not identify with my grief. I am worthy of a healthy, consistent, healing relationship. I will not stay in a relationship that makes me feel unsafe: mentally, physically or emotionally. I will not stay because of fear that I can't do better. I'm confident that I will have a stable and secure relationship. So it is.

I don’t meditate on the wrong people have done to me; but I also don’t excuse it.  I have grace for others. I do not hold grudges. I forgive people that hold grudges against me.  I don’t hate people just because they hate me. I allow people to have their opinions.  I keep an open space in my heart for my enemies. I do not harbor ill will toward others. I do not speak ill about others.  I forgive people even when they don’t think they need to be forgiven. I forgive people who label my good intentions as bad.  I free myself by freeing others. So it is and amen. 

I am broken. I have healed.   I am healing.   I am all these things.  And I extend grace to each of these versions of myself.  I have come a long way.  And I am full of gratitude when I reflect on my journey.  My growth is timely.  I don’t focus on perfecting myself.  I let God and time do the work.  I’m good when I have people in my life who understand and support me.  And I’m good when I don’t.  Because I am broken. I have healed.  I am healing.  And I am all these things.  So I extend grace to each of these versions of myself.

I use mistakes to make me better.  So I am not afraid to step out of my comfort zone for fear of making mistakes. So it is. 

I embrace maturity. I will always be childlike, but I let go of the childish. I am now who I used to look up to. Youth is no longer an excuse and I do not long for the days it was. I know better, but it’s okay if I don’t always do better.  Being grown doesn’t mean I don’t make mistakes.  I consider my future as I make choices.  And I am present while I live in the moment.  I am not afraid of my future.  I am not ashamed of my past. I do not glamorize the future. I do not romanticize the past.  I do not rush into maturity. I let it happen: gradually and gracefully. So it is.
