Learning to Let Go of What Was

I want to let go
Yet I still hold on to

To what was
The past
Things
No longer can I change

Wishing
I had been told sorry

Wishing 
Other people
Owned up to being wrong
(when they were)

Wishing
I felt safe
To share and express
The depth of my heart and emotions

Wishing 
Things had been different
Back then

God has a plan

I know
The moment 
I have
I am in
Is now

People change
Life
Has a way
Of 
Changing us too

I endured
Persevered
Pushed through

Challenging moments
Hardships
Uncertain times

What I wanted
Back then
(or so I thought)
I tried my hardest
And
Did my best to express

Who I was
Not well received
Misunderstood

Living in different worlds
Different places in life
Mindsets
Altered reality

No matter
How much I tried
To reach out

Frustrated
I became
Alone
Cried

I cannot
Make someone
Understand
See

What they are not 
Ready for
Receiving

Hard
Yes it is
Living life
At different stages

Awareness
Awakening
Over time
The heart changes

Life
Through a new lens
More mindful
Understanding

Accepting
Who it is they are
Once were

Comes at
God given moments
Great peace
Solitude

Hello and welcome, I am so glad we have crossed paths! It’s no accident you are here! Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by, notice and read. As a wife, mother, grandmother, teacher (and so much more), I see the world through my lens. From the way I was raised, to every experience, moment, and circumstance in life, has shaped the way I think and see the world. For several years now, I have been walking more closely with God, getting to know Him, how He speaks to me and through me. He has given me the ability to write, a way to express how I am feeling and what I am going through. This has been a beautiful, crazy kind of journey where much healing is taking place. A time where I need to offer myself up some grace and appreciate the hard work, dedication, and commitment to creating a better version of myself. I am learning how to work through and release old trauma, healing, shedding old layers of myself, accepting and embracing my true and authentic self. Getting to know the new me has been quite foreign, especially when the old wants to cling to what is familiar, old habits and mindsets. Writing has been my saving grace (and photography is right up there too). An outlet, a way to release, a way to pause, reflect and see there is more than what my mind is leading me to believe. God’s word, His voice is there. When I keep Him first, above all things, I’ve realized things work out for my greater good, my higher purpose. I hope you enjoy and find words of wisdom you can relate to!
