Looking Inwards

By Allyson NemethPublished 7 years ago 1 min read

Sometimes, it takes a while.

A while to realize your worth, or who to trust.

A while to process the hurt...

And life can be just...incredibly beautiful, yet cruel.

I've made many mistakes, and was left to look a fool.

However, recently, I took a step back.

Slowly...carefully...I'm getting back on track with how I believe my chaotic life should play out.

It's all up to me, I have no doubt that I will overcome whatever obstacle is placed before me.

I, myself have the power to change any aspect of me.

My own living, breathing, fighting machine.

It's time for me to rise and see my surroundings for what they are.

If I turn a blind eye to my emotions again, I won't get very far...

So if there is one thing I can tell myself right now, I'd say,

"Take all the negative bullshit in your life and FINALLY... throw it all away."
