Love yourself a little more, for you’re the one who you need the most!
For the times when your strength was all you had, and you stood alone.
For when the whole world turned against you, and every voice that drowned you..
Forgive yourself for the nights you couldn’t get through..
Exactly a year ago, when everything changed..
In just a moment, you had to rearrange..
But remember, the shattered pieces wasn’t the end..
But the beginning of something new..
The chance to put your pieces back together again..
Some edges are sharp and the cuts still sting..
But there’s beauty in building, even when the pain persists..
There will be days when your demons still win,
but believing in yourself is where the true healing begins..
You’re not the failure, nor the scars or the tears..
You are the resilience that you have carried through months and months..
You have bloomed in ways you could have never imagined..
Despite the storms, the losses and the battles within..
The little one inside you is still so proud,
of the dreams you carry despite everyone’s doubt..
You are the hope and the light that enters through the cracks
So forgive yourself for all because
only you know what it takes to build it all !
September – The Art of Letting Go
As the days of September unfold, I love the gentle breeze the transition of the autumn brings—reminding us to let go of our old selves and teaching us the beauty of new beginnings. I don’t know if you have ever felt this, but I am one of those who gets excessively emotional and sensitive as the autumn approaches. While I don’t like to label the syndromes, but it’s pretty much one of those evenings where I feel loneliness for no reason. I love the crisp air and the falling leaves but I am not a fan of sudden quietness around me.
This month, I am reminding myself again about – letting go. Letting go of what doesn’t align with me, letting go of the old clutter that I don’t need anymore, letting go of anything and everything that doesn’t serve me or my values. At first, I need to start with my wardrobes, and then my thoughts!!
I know it feels free but we all love the feeling of holding onto people and places that have once made us feel home (but not anymore – I know!). There’s a certain comfort in holding on to the past, even when it no longer serves our present. Yet, as I sit by the window with a warm cup of tea, watching the leaves drift down from the trees, I am reminded of how letting go can be both liberating and beautiful.
It’s natural to let go and very natural to feel the sudden emptiness. I remember, someone dear to my heart, once told me that it’s nature’s way of telling us to make space (both physically and emotionally) for new beginnings.
I REALLY LOVE THE IDEA OF NEW BEGINNINGS!
I remember – not very long ago – when I held on tightly to everything that defined me—my ambitions, my goals, and even the comforting routines of daily life. It was only when I started to let go, bit by bit, that I discovered a new level of freedom. I realized now that true growth often comes from releasing the familiar and embracing the unknown. Yes, I haven’t made any lists in many days now, and each day was so full of surprises.
This September, I promised myself to let go and just let be.
It doesn’t mean that I am in denial of the past, I love to acknowledge it, learn from it, and am trying to make room for what’s next.
So, here’s to September—a month of shedding old layers and stepping into new beginnings.
I know I have – what it takes – within me!
With strength and hope,
S.
