I confuse people. I have a happy personality but carry a sad soul. I'm bold yet painfully shy. I love with all my heart, but at times, I feel completely detached. I'm healing while still hurting. I'm fiercely dedicated to growth, yet I catch myself in cycles of self-sabotage. I'm a mix of contradictions, trying to make sense of it all. More than anything, I'm searching for peace amidst the chaos of who I am.

You're not alone in this chaos, you're not alone in this search. We're all a mix of contradictions, a jumble of emotions, and a mess of thoughts. And that's what makes you beautifully human. You're not supposed to have it all figured out, you're not supposed to be one-dimensional, and you're not supposed to fit into a neat little box.

Your contradictions are your strength, they're your superpower, and they're what make you unique. Your sadness gives depth to your happiness, your shyness makes your boldness more impactful, and your detachment makes your love more profound. You're a work in progress, a masterpiece in the making, and a symphony of emotions.

Keep searching for peace, keep navigating the chaos, and keep embracing the contradictions. It's okay to be a work in progress, it's okay to be a little messy, and it's okay to be you – unapologetically, unconditionally, and unmistakably you.

A free spirit isn’t a rebel.
A free spirit is simply free within oneself, radiating their light up and out to breathe the sweet medicine of new rhythms and roads into an often stagnant world.

What if one day
you come to the realization
that you never again have
to explain yourself away
to anyone anymore,
or that you no longer
must carry the burden
of another’s false
perception of you
or your own perceived inadequacies
and you could relax, finally,
in knowing you’re incredible
in the light you are
standing in at this moment.

And what if you go on
to not care
about the judgments someone else
might have ,that your life
is not full or amazing enough
or that you no longer feel
the need to endlessly
apologize for being human?

That day
has been graciously
waiting for you
to begin swimming
in its warm waters
of love and
acceptance ..
