TO THE WOMAN WHO IS SLOWLY FADING AWAY...
To the woman who has lost her spark.
To the woman whose get up and go,
has well and truly gone.
This is for you.
This is to remind you whose daughter you are.
This is to remind you, that you don’t have to be
everything, to everyone, every day.
You didn’t sign up for that.
Remember when you used to laugh? Sing?
Throw caution to the wind?
Remember when you used to forgive yourself
for not always being perfect.
You can get that back again.
You really can.
And that doesn’t have to mean
letting people down or walking away.
It just means being kinder to you,
feeling brave enough to say no sometimes.
Being brave enough to stop sometimes.
And rest.
It starts the moment you realise
that you’re not quite who you used to be.
Some of that is good, some of that is not.
There are parts of you that need to be brought back.
And if anyone in your life is not okay with that...
they are not your people.
Your people will be glad to see
that spark starting to light up again.
So, if you have been slowly fading away my friend,
this is the time to start saying yes
to things that bring you joy
and no to things that don’t.
It’s really pretty simple.
