Dec 8
The new year will start with a sigh and smile.
Tears running down my face,
Saying we made it.
Over a year clean,
Being a survivor instead of living as a forever victim,
Proud of the growth and changes I’ve made.
Looking back I wouldn’t do a single thing differently.
I’ve started to grow into the woman I deserve to be and learned to heal me and my inner child when all I wanna do is give up.
I learned to love harder,
Be stronger,
And most importantly have faith.
This new year I shed the skin of the old me like a snakes sheds their skin and rejoice in a new light feeling free and warm.
Everything doesn’t have to be ok for me to learn how to live in peace.
Sometimes we thrive and learn to evolve while fighting in the trenches.
We discover what really matters.
To me what matters is my family,
Our health,
Our commitment to one another,
And our love that’s never ending.
This new year I celebrate not just me changing with the tides as they roll towards us but also me learning to move with them.
We can only set ourselves free,
Then we feel the calmness of the waves slowing to match our heartbeat.
This new year I will show the new me and be proud of the progress I’ve made,
The battles I’ve won,
And the tears I’ve shed.
Because all of tat has helped me to understand that no matter how long or short our lives are the only thing we truly have control over is ourselves and how we move the puzzle pieces around to find our place in the world.
My place is in the words I write,
The love I give,
The journey I’ve taken.
So as the new year approaches I pray that each step brings more calmness into my heart and mind so that the me I deserve to be can shine.
It’s gunna be a new year,
And I intend to be a better and new version of myself.
No longer will I wallow and hide,
Instead I’ll come out from under the table and allow myself to feel and process and learn to accept what I’ve been given and use my words to express myself in every way.
My words and life are enough.
So here’s to a new beginning of self acceptance and self discovery.
May we all come out the other side filled with peace and love and happiness for what we have.
Happy new year from my family to yours.
