Changes
Changes.
Like leaves, chlorophyll breaking down the green exposing vibrant red and yellow, changes alter my life. They strip away the familiar and bring my inner light back into the world. Changes snap, set me free from bare tree bones. I drift like a solitary leaf on the wind...I feel the breeze through my limbs and the sun on my face. For the first time in years I am moving...I am alive.
Changes.
Sometimes they hit me hard. I am punched in the stomach and the force sends me reeling. Other times they sneak up on me, before I realize what is happening my body is travelling that slippery slope into the unknown. Lately, I have been somewhere in the middle. I was punched but I did not fall...I slid but remained strong in my footing. Moments like these I know whatever changes are coming will be good ones. They will challenge my spirit and my heart will discover new ways to open.
Changes.
For a long time I've been hiding. I have allowed my light to diminish believing it was all right to be less because I would never be enough. Changes have a way of challenging the irrational beliefs that keep me in the shadows. Life shifts, and I can't hide anymore...I don't want to. Changes are scary, they push me to accept new ideas about life and about myself. Sometimes I fall into open air, arms wide. Other times I hold back at the edge; resist because it hurts...a lot. But whatever the changes are, they ultimately help me grow and become a better person.
Changes.
Four weeks ago I met a man who brightens my life and brings me joy. We laugh until we cry and he always holds my hand. This past weekend I got my first tattoo. It reminds me I am strong and can be brave with my heart. In two days I move to a new home with my best friend. We've been talking about it for years and have so many amazing memories ahead of us. Life twists...life turns. Changes provide challenges and I rise to them so tomorrow can be better...so I can stand in the sun and know this beautiful life is mine.
