She decided
She DecideD
to trust herself above all voices...
To say no when she meant it and yes when she desired it...
To be actively kinder even though she knew she was already kind...
To stop apologizing for things she didn't feel sorry for...
To apologize more for the things she was afraid to atone for, but knew was the necessary medicine for her heart...
To Embrace Joy, To choose it, actively seek it out, and to linger long enough in it to trust it more...
to let her sadness live alongside her happiness...
to seek out people who made her laugh, because seriousness she had already mastered...
To complain less even if it meant she would no longer be a part of conversations that she probably didn't want to be involved in anyway...
to honor sleep, to get enough of it, to enter it with a prayer, to wake up from it with a meditated mind...
to write whatever she damn well wants to, because a true voice is always what she desires to read and the only voice she knows how to write from...
