today i spent time listening to my breath
quieting my mind
and looking inward

what i found was peace
peace that i thought was long gone
kicked to the curb by noisy self criticism
that i had let be my internal voice

for the past month or so i have been struggling with who i am, what my life should be/look/feel like, what is love, is love real and am i good enough.
the pain and chaos was all self induced and the gross part is that i believed that i had zero value and that the internal voice was truth

taking the time to make my mind shut the fuck up and listen to my breath and my soul was excatly what i needed all along.
and you know what i know ...
love is real
life is messy
i am worth it
pain is essential for change
and
sometimes things get confussing and scary
but its not just me
it happens to us all
we all need to take some time, make some space
 and give care to our inner, most sacred parts so that our gorgeous spirit can shine bright
and
so that all of our dreams and desires have a place to show up and blow up bigger than we imagined
