Life is just crazy, so fast paced and chaotic
There is always so much to do and not enough time

Going to work
Making plans with friends and family
Trying to be a functioning human being while being completely exhausted.

But for now, I am holding my little daughter in my arms,
Her tiny, sleepy soul is resting.
She is safe, secure and SO loved.
All feels still and calm.

So, for now, life can wait until tomorrow.
I will take this moment in, and hold on to it for when life just feels like it’s too much

For so long living in the chaos, I dreamt of peace.

Now, I am living it.


My old dreams are my new reality.

The Ghosts of my pasts have recently resurfaced

I have seen them in my dreams
Heard them in my mind
Felt them in my soul.

They have not come back to cause me harm,
I know that now.

They offer me no ill-intent

They have some back, to be laid to rest.

They are hurt,
They are scared.
They never had the chance to heal themselves.

And for years, they have existed, in the dark depths of my soul, lost and alone.

- Silenced... -

Waiting, to one day be set free…

So, this to my ghosts…

I see you,
I feel you.
I hear your cries…

And soon…

                                                                             You shall be free.
To my ghosts, I will heal you.
What I’d like to impart to future generations
is that it’s completely okay
if your teeth
are a little
wonky.
We came to this world

only for a while,

and when we leave,

we leave behind our footprints.

Some remain forever,

worthy to be followed

over and over again.

Others are erased in time,

making way for new footprints,

worthy to be followed.
Past is never forgotten;
time only teaches
how to live with it.

The future is not free
from the clutches
of the past.

Past is a mirror
within the soul—
unbroken,
omnipresent,
always there
to remind us
of what is left behind.
