Happy Free-Thinking Friday!! I’ve been challenging myself to write more often so I spent some time this week doing just that. I hope you enjoy “words from the week”
Day One:
There is unrest. There is unrest in my spirit when it comes to you. There is unrest in my spirit when it comes to you and I don’t know how to crawl back to happiness. There is unrest in my spirit when it comes to you and existing feels like walking through a minefield, doing my best to avoid triggers that may remind me of you. There is unrest in my spirit and I don’t know how to fix it.
Day Two:
Learning to love you responsibly is remembering that I am deserving of care and comfort. It is tending to my needs. It is putting myself first.
Day Three
I’m running a race and the only person in the lane next to me is my former self. The Briana of yesterday is my only competition. I’m in a race of my own so the only person to look over and compete with is the woman I was before. My job is to prove that I’m better, faster and stronger than I was yesterday. I have to beat that woman no matter what. I have to beat her mentally, spiritually, and physically. I have to be the best version of myself possible and the only way I can do that is by beating the Briana of yesterday & Honestly, she ain’t got nothing on me.
Day Four:
I’m learning that there is complexity to loss and around every avenue where it exists, sadness will follow.
Loss is a labyrinth with no exit.
Sadness lives in every corridor,
It waits for you around every bend,
There is no escape.
