Pain and darkness


We all go through dark times. But while pain is inevitable, it must be experienced, rather than escaped. Pain is often an indication that something must change, and the truth of it has to be wholeheartedly embraced. This is something we all struggle with. So how do we do it?
1. Find the courage to be yourself, and understand that you are a work in progress, not a finished product. 2. Be proud of your growth, humble about your weaknesses, and compassionate about your mistakes. 3. Don't be afraid to reintroduce yourself to those who think they have you figured out - you are not the same person you were yesterday. 4. Speak your truth and express your heartfelt wishes - you matter and you are worthy regardless of what you do or don't do. 5. The only limitations are those you impose on yourself - so start practicing positive self talk. 6. Break through your invisible barriers and go on to something better, knowing you are now better for having gone through the pain too.

The boy who was (never) good enough

I may be off-base But I think I recognize it This desire to give As a way to provide Yourself with a pleasing identity. A way to be loving A way to be loved Giving up your own needs  For the sake of harmony. Did you have a mother who was always sad? Were you the one to delight her? Did you face the pain of choosing a path That took you away or made you unkindly? Was your brother the asshole And you didn’t mind it Because it meant you could be the one To fix feelings all around you. And when you were older Did you pick girls that reminded You of the woman who was always demanding? And did you feel good  When you provided  All of the joy that wasn’t inside her? But when you messed up Were you the same disappointment? The boy who was (never) good enough But couldn’t stop striving. I hope one day you see That you’re worthy of love Without needing to give Or be perfect. Above all I hope you reme...
