Grateful ~

I am gradually learning what it means to be human.

Wisdom

I am slowly learning how to forgive the past. 🍃

How to accept that sometimes beautiful things end, that sometimes the timing isn’t right, that sometimes the messiness of life gets in the way. 🌿

I am slowly learning that endings aren’t something to be upset about, but rather, I am slowly learning how to appreciate how damn lucky I was to experience something real and hopeful and light in a world that sometimes fails to be soft.🍃

I am slowly learning how to be alone. 🍃

I am slowly learning how to wake up in the middle of the bed. 🌿

How to make just one cup of coffee in the mornings. 🍃

How to hold my own heart, how to take up my own space. 🌿

I am slowly learning how to stop filling voids with other human beings, and instead, I am slowly learning how to confront the void itself. 🌿

How to heal it.🍃

I am slowly learning what it means to be human. 🍃

What it means to make mistakes and learn from them. 🍃

What it means to be both happy and sad at the same time. 🍃

I am slowly learning how to do the damn work. 🍃

How to stop running from what is heavy and uncomfortable in my life. 🌿🍃

How to take the easy route less and less. 🍃

How to grow myself, how to be a better person.🍃

But most of all, I am slowly learning how to just be, at this moment. 🌿

How to exist. 🌿🍃

How to understand that I cannot control life, that I can only experience it in both its light and its dark stages. 🍃🌿

I am slowly learning how to laugh and cry and feel through it all, how to welcome the confusion and the joy that comes with loving, living, and breaking. 🌿🍂

I am slowly learning how to accept where I am. 🍃🌿

I am slowly learning how to simply believe in the person I am becoming.🌿🍃
