Opening the door to my heart

"Please be patient with me. Sometimes when I'm quiet it's because I need to figure myself out. It's not because I don't want to talk. Sometimes there are no words for my thoughts."
— Kamla Bolanos

i whisper to myself, from bruises flowers can grow.

Who I became after everything I've been through

+1 for title alone. I always liked to do dumps that way and see others that do too.

When I wander through your lovely collections, I enjoy every step (and gratefully pocket so many little mementoes). Also, #48 is especially poignant and timely. Glad to read it. :)

#114 That. Absolutely, and entirely that.

#113 It is okay to be a work in progress, no instructions, blindly stumbling, figuring it out as we go along. The first step is to become our most authentic selves recognizing good and bad, then lose the subjective self judgements. That’s clarity and focus. That is the path. We gain the real power realizing reality couldn’t have gone any other way, because it didn’t. Imagine flipping that script into purpose? What do you wish to be celebrating years from now? That’s your goal; to find an answer.
