I allowed things to unfold naturally without trying to control the outcome, simply because I was uncomfortable with uncertainty about the future I’m going,
I allowed things to unfold naturally resisting the temptation to intervene solely to feel a sense of control over every conceivable outcome even I had to imagine,
I allowed things to unfold naturally, understanding that forcing situations often distorts the natural course of events unless you’re only willing to be open,
I allowed things to unfold naturally, am I acting out of trust, or am I simply trying to manage my fear that things might not turn out as I hope, as I plan to be,
I allowed things to unfold naturally, loosening my grip even when uncertainty felt like something I had to resist and hope for…
I stand alone, free from the reassurance that once made me feel safe but also kept me dependent on something external aside from myself all alone,
I stand alone, feeling the burden of carrying my emotions without seeking immediate support from someone to steady me and soothe the pain I’m carrying,
I stand alone, observing how quiet strength grows in places where no one is observing or validating my efforts as I need to believe my own,
I stand alone here, and I’m wondering if I can support myself without needing someone else to confirm that I’m doing this right, and I’m doing this now,
I stand alone, realizing that true independence is forged in the moments when I choose to confront and overcome my own discomforts and shortcomings…
I believe in less, allowing my words to convey only what is necessary, rather than everything I am afraid to omit and accept,
I believe in less, trusting that what truly matters will persist even without my excessive attempts to secure it through excessive expression,
I believe in less, I find that speaking less sharpens my clarity when I remove the unnecessary layers I once thought were truly essential,
I believe in less, am I communicating the truth, or am I simply indulging in the comfort of oversharing and being welcomed,
I believe in less, discovering that restraint reveals more than what I used to think about what is completeness required of me…
I remain present, even when my mind attempts to draw me into the past or the future that I missed to make now happen,
I remain present, letting each moment unfold naturally without forcing it to repeat or rushing into something that I cannot carry,
I remain present, acknowledging what is currently happening without comparing it to a version that no longer exists in the same way,
I am present, but am I truly here, or am I gradually entering a state of greater understanding,
I remain present, accepting that both the world and I are always changing beyond my control, and the only steadiness I’ll find is in learning how to stay with the change…
Watchwords:
Forcing things distorts what could arrive
Quiet strength builds without validation
Clarity sharpens when I remove excess
Am I hiding inside saying too much
Both the world and I are moving
