SPC {Introduction-4}

a meme stolen from bluepoppy

I AM: wings unfolding, soaring to touch the sun, unfurling to reveal their beautiful, vivid colors

I SAID: let me be free and I found myself lifting further into the clouds, playing tag with the trees, skipping from star to star

I WANT: to take long naps curled up in the branches and the leaves

I WISH: that each of us could see the beautiful and radiant truth of who we are even if for only a few minutes, and that we would let those few minutes transform our lives

I HATE: the masks I sometimes wear because I'm afraid to show my true self

I MISS: my former slender self and I'm not always able to open my arms to the body I have right now

I FEAR: getting lost in all my fears

I HEAR: the birds calling my name

I WONDER: what it would be like to fall in love with myself

I REGRET: the moments I chose to stay small instead of choosing to live in my fullness

I AM NOT: willing to tuck my wings behind me and pretend they don't exist

I DANCE: with the butterflies

I SING: the song of my heart

I AM NOT ALWAYS: who I know I truly am

I MADE: a poem from my life

I WRITE: to let my soul breathe

I CONFUSE: knowing with accepting

I NEED: music, poetry, beauty, community, affection, solitude, creativity, words

I SHOULD: let go of the shoulds

I START: over and over and over again, and that's okay

I FINISH: with all the pretending

I BELIEVE: everything I need is right here, within, I only need to reach out and take hold of it

I KNOW: the things I know today might very well change tomorrow

I CAN: learn to live with the questions, to rest in them, to give up the search for answers

I CAN'’T: put it off any longer, I must give myself the gift of passion

I SEE: you--your beauty, your possibility, your wholeness

I BLOG: to give a piece of myself to you

I READ: because words tickle my heart

I AM AROUSED BY: the wind whispering in my ear, the sun caressing my back, the moon licking my neck

I FIND: my face in the petals of the rose

I LIKE: the way the Earth never forgets me

I LOVE: myself
