  • The Day My Childhood Ended

    the day my childhood ended
    seems a bit strong
    dont be offended
    because it might not be wrong

    throughout my whole life
    i was told that i cant
    be this or do that
    which leaves me to rant

    being a young leader
    doesnt make me bossy
    i can take charge
    and be a bit saucy

    just because im confident
    and believe that im great
    doesnt mean you arent too
    sorry you cant relate

    i might think im the best
    but i know there are better
    say youre impressed
    that im such a go-getter

    fighting for myself
    and what i know i deserve
    doesnt mean that im full of it
    because i have nerve

    to say the things i feel
    or know to be true
    its not going to my head
    just because its not you

    on one hand i should speak up
    but then when i do
    somehow im trying to fight
    if only you knew

    that might not be the case
    actually its not at all
    im being misunderstood
    and made to feel small

    i know thats not the intention
    i dont want you to think
    im saying youre wrong
    or making a stink

    over the years i have grown
    into the person im supposed to be
    even if im doing it alone
    soon you will see

    the day my childhood ended
    isnt to be negative
    instead its to show
    that im changing the narrative

    • Brittney, your confidence and desire to lead are such admirable qualities, and the fact that you realized them at a young age makes them even more impressive. I’m sure that you’ve encountered those who would try to bring you down, but I’m glad that you have the drive to rebuke their negativity. Thank you for sharing this inspiring piece!

  • To the thing that gives me life

    To the thing that gives me life, the energy within everything that is. My love for you transcends all dimensions, time, and space. I have always felt love for you, but it took me a while to understand you. Growing up, others taught me that your love was conditional and if I was not obedient, then it would no longer be there, but I never believed that. So instead, I let your love live inside of me until I understood it for myself.
    You are the reason for life on Earth and the feelings within my body. Because of you, the wind blows and the sun shines. I can feel sadness while also feeling joy, fear while also feeling courage. You are the reason I feel immense peace when staring at the sky. There are no conditions for your love because you are just that: love. The intensity you carry brings people together; creates life on Earth; brings purpose.
    Your love is what we are here to find and connect with. A journey that is made specifically for you. Everything always comes back to you. My heart skips a beat thinking of how intense my love for you is because it is simply all that I am. I long for a greater awareness that your love exists and for those to feel it the way I do, because it is what keeps me going. I will dedicate my entire life to sharing my love for you with those around me. My purpose is to show others they can also feel the same love for you as I do.
    Universe, you are the reason I live and I would simply not exist without you. Continue sharing your love with me because it is the best feeling I have ever felt. It is strong enough to move mountains and create miracles, but we must accept it. My greatest accomplishment is letting you into my heart, and you will forever be there with me. I love you Universe.

    • Samantha, this is a sweet and moving letter to the universe. While it can be difficult to pinpoint precisely what the universe does for us, we would not exist without it. It allows us to feel and experience life like nothing else. I hope that your love for the universe continues to grow! Thank you for sharing your experience!
