she’s naturally the girl that people talk to.
people see her
and open up with a little joke
or anecdote.
they feel her
and know that she is peace.
she is safety
she is a temporary home
for the fleeting feels
and thoughts
that are bursting to escape from their heads
they know she’ll politely smile
and keep them safe
allowing a tidbit of advice to come through
if they are willing to pay the price
a small fee
in the form of
identifying and accepting
what it is that she sees in them
because she connects to them so deeply
her eye is trained
to see right through their exterior
and the initial few layers guarding their interior
all the way to what lies deeper inside
they see her and open up
Because for once in their life
They know, they don’t have to hide.
there’s no need for the disguise
or to fight the urge
of the people pleaser who lives in all of us.
for once, she makes them feel ok
to not think about “us”.
her vibrational pull
and gentle nature
make them gravitate toward her
because they know she did nothing to lure.
she seeks nothing from them
but has the capacity to give everything,
yet very few ever give in to greed
because just a few seconds in her presence
given them all that they need.

to answer the question.
the thing that makes me strong is

empathy.

here’s to a year
of feeling lighter
of practicing
& only pursuing the things
that set my soul on fire.

here’s to a year of intentionality
of manifesting my truest reality
and not settling for anything in “actuality”
here’s to a year of “no”
of no longer feelings afraid of taking my time
and moving slow.
– slow, intentional movements are the only way we can grow.

but also,
here’s to a year of “yes!”
of falling in loving
of trying to not add to my own distress
by avoiding the things that make me feel best.

here’s to a year of authenticity
of simplicity
of consistency
and only engaging in actions
that will lead to my prosperity
and ending 27 debt free.

here’s to no longer denying my humanity.

here’s to another year of peace
but in this one,
I will fully trust
and leave
indecisiveness
worry
and inaction
in tomorrow’s dust.
