Be kind to yourself.
It’s been a week since I posted a poem on here and I’ve been worried about it. I’m in a state of transition right now, trying to figure out what my future has in store. I’ve been asking a lot of questions lately, mostly boiling down to “what do I want in this life.” And though I can’t answer it in this moment, and though I’ve struggled with writing as a result, I know I need to take my own advice and be kind to myself. If all I have is today, I’m damn well going to grant myself a break and a hug and a smile (and peanut butter).
Be kind to yourself.

I’ve always loathed the word “expectations” ….because it pointed a scolding finger at me, reminding me of my feelings of unworthiness. Now, I take each feeling in the moment, and give myself a break…just as you are doing. This is the journey.
It’s a challenge to let go of expectations, both of other people and yourself. I think it’s a natural part of desire. But I’ve found that expectations only limit happiness. I’m working on it for myself. I hope your journey is a freeing, healing process too.
Been going thru a little transition myself but keep trooping the greatest mountains come with the largest victories
Everything in life is done with “Expectations” from putting on shoes to buying a coke,it is the forerunner to all acomplishment. It’s only demand is our policing of the hierachy that we give to it.
