The Year Of Rediscovery
Rediscovering me
And who I’m destined to be
Also where I’m called to be
Realigning my life
For how I see fit
Your opinion doesn’t matter here
Reaffirming myself
Restating my boundaries
Protecting my energy
Praying and watching the blessings align
Divine timing I say
Watching it all unfold
And all the manifestations come true
Earlier this year, I made a vision board
I envisioned conversations with friends
And me and the babes have been intentionally showing up for one another
Planning trips together
Celebrating each other
Holding one another accountable
(Hashtag) #RealFriends
And I refer to my college roommates as the babes
I’m so grateful for each one of them
Bestie and I are able to communicate more too
She bought a house and also graduated again
Had to be there for those special and important moments
Also placed “me” time on there
And as I write this poem, I’m discovering me again
The writer within
Time spent with me is allowing me to be free
And write from the heart
And write what feels good
In yoga, they say “find what feels good and listen to your body”
Shout out to Ritual, constantly reminding her to show up for herself and that her rituals are sacred
Her heart was broken
It wasn’t easy and yet she pushed through it
She did the work, I mean is doing the work
Shout out to her therapist
She gets it, she understands
She follows up and follows through
She encourages her to take good care
She makes recommendations
Still grateful that I actually listened and checked out ACA
Her mind is happy she’s progressing from hurting, to healing, to helping
Helping herself
Helping her loved ones
Healing from the shame and blame from the past
Because she realized some of it, was not even hers to carry
She’s lighter, since she’s let go of those loads
She is remembering all the love her Grams showed
She is remembering the patience her Auntie gave
She is taking all the obstacles she’s ever faced
And using them as stepping stones to get her back on track
She’s been resilient
And full of strength
All of life’s lessons has prepared her for this very moment
She’s courageous
Even when she feels discouraged and alone
Because she knows she is truly never alone
Or on her own
God is within her, she will not fail
Or fall
And absolutely, that’s a Psalm
Psalms 46:5 to be exact
She’s reminded by God’s love and wisdom along with His grace and mercy
That she could do all things through him
This year of rediscovery, has strengthened her relationship with herself
Strengthened her relationship with God
She needs her physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health in alignment to be the best version of herself
She’s being the best she can be
She is loving and living life unapologetically
On the path to rediscovery
Her mom loves to say “a journey of a thousand miles starts with one footstep”
So cheers to taking the first step
To reclaim her life
To putting herself first
To finally recognizing her worth
To being intentional with her time
For celebrating herself the way she celebrates and supports others
To realizing that she’s not in control
To knowing that she can’t change people or the past
And because of this, reminding herself that all she can do is pray for people and encourage them to take better care of themselvesThis year of rediscovery
I’ve grown and learned
I’ve gotten closer with myself
No longer afraid of being alone
Or doing it on my own
Carving out time to do what I love and get back to me
Self love is the best love
And I absolutely love myself
Grateful to be on the other side of it all now
