The part I am missing…
But why does it feel missing?
Am I not already whole?
Then what do I lack?
For I search for what is already within me
Long imprisoned
in the claws of the Devil
desperate to break free
But what will become of me with it?
Wasn’t this the missing part?
If it was already in me
it was never missing
It was already
in its rightful place
I just needed to find it

A sigh
I am overtaken by the feeling of eternity
the certainty that no time can hold me back
no pressure can rush me
no obstacle can delay me
I am the beginning, the middle, and the end
whole

That moment when anything can happen
everything can change
and you don’t care
Yes—you do care
about your well-being
about
being truly happy

I need to get used to
looking in the mirror
and not seeing a machine
but a woman
in a
human body

Doing my nails
playing my favorite song
smelling fabric softener
putting on makeup
were
forms of healing

Healing doesn’t come overnight
And it doesn’t come in waves
Healing never tells you when it will arrive
It’s a process
It settles in slowly
It’s a state of mind

It took me a while to understand
that life happens in active mode
not passive
Everything is beautiful
in my mind
But lying in bed
or sitting on the couch
won’t bring that beauty
into my life

I don’t think I only resigned from my job
I think I also resigned
from the role of an extra
in my own life

Accepting that I might need medication
for the rest of my life
hurt
But it hurt less
than
trying
to quit it
