I’ve often found myself in need of a good book, an old movie, or quiet time to myself. Life has a way of revealing the necessity of coping mechanisms. I’ve found that I need to set aside time for myself to decompress every single week. On this platform, Sunday is Self-Love Sunday where I’ll explore different aspects of Self-Love and its importance in my life and the lives of the people around me. Friday is Free-Thinking Friday which is my opportunity to share poems, short stories and anything else that has been on my mind. This Free-Thinking Friday I’d like to finish the sentence “Life is short…” and I encourage you to do the same.
“Life is short…”
Life is short so I’ll sit in the sun
Smell the ocean, feel the warmth on my skin,
I’ll take a dip, maybe even swim
They say, “life is short”
So I’ll remember this phrase
When pain overwhelms me and darkens my days
Life is short, this must be true
But how short is it to those whose lives are taken too soon?
Life is short so take it easy my dear
Don’t allow the stress of life to make your soul fear
You can be everything you’ve ever dreamed
If you allow your dreams to alter your reality
When the days feel too long and you’re convinced you aren’t strong
Remember that life is short
Or
When life is moving too fast and you can’t count the days before they pass
Remember that life is short
There’s something about being twenty-something that leaves room for fear and doubt. Fear that we aren’t good enough, fear that we won’t be successful, fear that our dreams are unattainable. Whatever your fear is, think about it as you look in the mirror and say, “Life is short so I won’t let you slow me down”.
Thanks for joining me this week! See you on Sunday
