Take a second and breathe

We have a tendency to beat ourselves up (I’m guilty of this more times than I can admit). We have the habit of wearing ourselves thin and having nothing else to give. We carry the world on our shoulders when it isn’t ours to carry. You don’t have to pretend that you have everything together perfectly. Take a breather, take a moment of peace. It gets better, give it time.

The quietness

There are times I crave a quiet life. Away from the hustle of life. Away from tasks and never ending to do lists. Away from the validation of society. Away from material items and their holdings in life. I have learned that none of these things satisfy my soul or douse my spirit. Silent reflections. Quiet waters. Tranquil moments. Peace solitude with yourself. These are the things that my soul craves for and what slowly repairs my broken vessel that keeps my afloat. Learning how to find these moments and how to love yourself through them is the adventure I’m on. Finding the true meaning of inner peace on this passageway called life.

The things we carry

Sometimes life can get too heavy to carry. Don’t ignore that little voice that tells you to keep going. Don’t ignore the voice that reminds you of your strength. You have the courage and strength to keep going forward, it just takes one step at a time.
