Are you ready?

What will you do when everything you've been looking for looks right back? Are you ready to receive everything you've been longing for? Most of us are not: we feel unworthy and end up self-sabotaging or running away. Sometimes we are unwilling to sacrifice "good enough" for what we really want, and other times we choose safety over the potential pain of losing the very thing we are being offered. Losing something you don't care that much about is bearable, but the potential pain of losing everything you've ever wanted is soul-crushingly terrifying. And yet, without the willingness to take that risk, you'll never get the chance to know how truly amazing it could be to have it. 
The real work of life is to prepare to receive that which your soul longs for, because although we hate to admit it, we are the only thing standing between us and our dreams.

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...

The angry woman

I am the angry woman I'm bleeding white-hot rage My fury of tears will drown you You should all feel afraid.  My tongue is poised for lashing My feet are here to crush My lungs are filled with fire I cannot stop the rush. My skin is scalding ashes  Of a burning, ember heart My words beat down like hail My screams are lightning darts. Watch me drink the poison And wait for you to die I am the angry woman But you all think I lie.
