Ever had a thousand words to describe a picture
only you can see?
in a language only you can speak?
I think we all have our privileges
I think we all got our struggles
we just gotta find that speck of light sometimes, for me
it’s the moon
it reminds me there’s a light at the end of the tunnel
it just means we’re all going through something
we are all going through it
respect the pace
It took my whole life to get here
and I still got a long way to go
places to see
people to meet
a better me to be
and
I give myself permission
to be whole
despite my holes, I am whole
despite my brokenness,
I am whole
I’ve fallen apart before, haven’t you?
when we fall apart, we fall together
“sometimes when we breakdown it is really a breakthrough”
Imagine a jar,
a beautiful Alabaster jar decorated with delightful designs and colours
the only way to know what’s inside is to break open this jar
Now, imagine yourself as this jar
decorated with delightful designs and colours
In life, sometimes we have to be broken to be opened
we have to be broken to be open
we can keep it all in
or we can choose to let it go
Give yourself permission to go somewhere unknown
we are neither created nor destroyed
but when we are broken, we transform
This feeling’s a little scary (okay, it’s really scary)
but haven’t you already survived a time you once believed
was the scariest part of your life?
maybe you have scars to show
but here you are today –
look how far you’ve come!
look how much you’ve grown
we are all going through something
Trust your struggle and you will grow
you will grow
It won’t be easy, it will take a lot of work (and at times, you’ll feel alone)
trust your struggle anyway
it’s messy and
beautiful
