They didn't teach me how to mourn the death of myself.
Or that there'd be payback for giving away my most valuable parts.
I've poured my heart out for so long, I didn't realize it was emptied - or,
maybe I just grew comfortable with the way it felt
to settle.
They never show you how to cope
with the pain trailing behind doing the right things.

I always believed
good things happen to good people.
And that karma would double-back as a reward
   for caring more than I’ve been cared for.

I was wrong. 
I understand now my gift.
It lives in this shedding of my old self and 
being unafraid of the version deserving more life,
and less mourning. 

More love received

   and less time wondering 

      why you kept it from me.

Love will come from within,
   it'll come out explosively.
Written fearlessly in my handwriting,
fiery and passionately
Read loudly
   from places once quieted,
   and whispered shyly. 

How proud I am
   that I lived to tell my tale.

How beautiful the story becomes 
   when we're given a chance to live it truly.

What a blessing it is to find another person who will not invade you or abandon you, but will create a safe space for you to share your deepest traumas and sorrows without fear, shame, or guilt.
I believe there is no greater treasure in life. I have had therapists in my life who have done this for me. I am forever grateful, for I have been forever changed by their presence and care.

Do you know anyone who has entitlement complex? There's a thin line between maintaining a positive self-image and becoming a narcissistic bully...

WOMAN

When God created woman he was working late on the 6th day.......

An angel came by and asked." Why spend so much time on her?"

The lord answered. "Have you seen all the specifications I have to meet to shape her?"

She must function on all kinds of situations,
She must be able to embrace several kids at the same time,
Have a hug that can heal anything from a bruised knee to a broken heart,
She must do all this with only two hands,"
She cures herself when sick and can work 18 hours a day"

THE ANGEL was impressed" Just two hands.....impossible!

And this is the standard model?"

The Angel came closer and touched the woman"
"But you have made her so soft, Lord".
"She is soft", said the Lord,
"But I have made her strong. You can't imagine what she can endure and overcome"

"Can she think?" The Angel asked...
The Lord answered. "Not only can she think, she can reason and negotiate"

The Angel touched her cheeks....
"Lord, it seems this creation is leaking! You have put too many burdens on her"
"She is not leaking...it is a tear" The Lord corrected the Angel…

"What's it for?" Asked the Angel..... .
The Lord said. "Tears are her way of expressing her grief, her doubts, her love, her loneliness, her suffering and her pride."...

This made a big impression on the Angel,
"Lord, you are a genius. You thought of everything.
A woman is indeed marvellous"

Lord said."Indeed she is.
She has strength that amazes a man.
She can handle trouble and carry heavy burdens.
She holds happiness, love and opinions.
She smiles when she feels like screaming.
She sings when she feels like crying, cries when happy and laughs when afraid.
She fights for what she believes in.

Her love is unconditional.
Her heart is broken when a next-of-kin or a friend dies but she finds strength to get on with life"

The Angel asked: So she is a perfect being?
The lord replied: No. She has just one drawback
"She often forgets what she is worth".
