Blog details

I was told that I needed to find myself.
I needed to write a list of what I want, who I am and want to be.
I was told I needed to find my power.
I was told that I needed to realize who I am.
I was told the only person who holds my power is me, and that it is only an illusion that I had lost my power.
I was told that respect is shown and not just spoken in words.
I was told to claim my space and be happy that I was freed even if it was unpleasant the way it unfolded.
I was told that it is ok to still love the person who mistreated me, but it wasn’t ok to give in to them.
I was told that I am beautiful, strong, smart and driven.
I was told that I have value that doesn’t ride on someone else’s coat tails.
I was told my value never did.
I was told that love is transparent, respectful and kind.

I was told these things because
I forgot I wasn’t lost
I forgot what I was looking for all those years ago.
I forgot I had all the power of the universe in my possession.
I forgot who I am.
I forgot I am in control of what happens to me and whom I choose to let
in.
I forgot that actions speak louder than words.
I forgot the universe cleans up messes even if you aren’t strong enough to do it.
I forgot that it is ok to love, just not to loose your self in it.
I forgot that I am beautiful, strong, smart and driven.
I forgot that I have value that is entirely mine, and has nothing to do with anyone else’s accomplishments.
I forgot I am worth having a transparent, respectful and kind relationship.
