keeping it real
i am not always happy, i am not always kind, i am not always optimistic, i am not always loving, i am not always connected. i get angry, i get sad, i get hurt, i get vicious, i get selfish, i get suicidal, i get jealous, i get tired, i get confused, i get lost.
these are all part of me, the ugly dark side of me, and that is okay. illuminating and being with these feelings is healing, i don't shun them away, i listen to their need, my need, and move from there
this is my journey, we all have our own journeys, we are doing the best we can to be happy and to love. sometimes we take different roads and we don't always agree. we all have a choice and we learn as we move along our chosen path and sometimes it will hurt or cause conflict but remember to be true to yourself, your values and your truth
we need to respect other people's choices, but first we need to respect ourselves.
