its me that is growing up and distancing  myself from you. 

Because I know that one day it will be me who just stop texting or calling. 

But, the truth is I know that you won’t notice if I stay or if I go and for that I know it won’t hurt us when the time comes. 

It’s time to live our life and maybe after knowing one another for so long  that there is no need for goodbye. 

Just the respect of knowing that the love we feel for each other will never decrease even if the thoughts and time together will not be the forefront of our minds. 

May we both keep growing as we continue to find ourselves and our place in this world as our lives continue to lead his on a path of unknown each and every day.

I don’t

want to stay

anymore and that’s okay.

Maybe not to you but, for me it is for I feel like all the things that have been thrown at me lately has made me so much stronger and wiser.

I need to let go and believe that there is a better place for me now.

No more anger or being pushed  to my limit day and night in this place.

I don’t know if you will ever understand but, this space is what is needed right now  because I want to breathe and feel the air on my face more than two days a week.

I want to walk with my head up high and know that I am doing what I deserve to do.

I am working hard for me and not for someone else because the end goal is all about me and that has all I ever been working for.

At the end I guess it doesn’t matter if you understand because this is my time and I won’t let your worries concern me anymore.

toast to the journey ahead of us and to the path were leaving behind

because without that path we wouldn’t be heading in the directions we are today.

Feeling of finally knowing where were supposed to be going and how great it feels too.

To know that this path is long but the destination will be so sweet and worth all the traveling and the time together.

This journey will shape us into who we know we have been holding back in the path.

It’s time to shine and no matter what dark places we may go to we will shine in them and we will walk away from them too with smiles and hope in our eyes and our hearts because our faith and love will carry us through it all.

No doubts and no regrets will be felt this time!

know this time I need to lay down and not get up so quickly because I don’t need to make a decision right now.

For if I get back up right now the peace and love I feel will go away and the anger and frustration will come back full force and right now I just need this time to center me and worry about me not about the situation I can’t control.

So tired of thinking about the thing that is the elephant in the room even when you are no longer in the room.

You just won’t stay away and your voice just has to be heard and right now all I want to do is not deal with this situation and to truly leave it behind me as I walk away and never look back.

I don’t want to remember you when I open my eyes and move on from this place for you are my worst nightmare the reason little white lies are at the front of my mind every time you ask me to do something on my day off.

Will my life stay like this forever or will I find a way to escape the elephant in the room.

true risk I’m willing to take right now is just being alone and letting myself let down all my walls and just relax and not stress about the outside things that pour so much into my life. 

I know by doing this I’m leaving myself so vulnerable that any type of shark could come and get me and my defense would be down and my luck of surviving the attack would be unlikely. 

But, I can’t sit around keeping it all inside I have to let some of it go so I can survive any attack that comes my way.

am me again.

Today is full of no stress just finding things to do well taking it easy.

Time is going by so slowly and I have no care in the world  right now.

I’m as relax  as it’s going to get for me for this day that feels like a fairytale isn’t going to last forever.

But, I won’t think about the storm that will greet me on Monday.

For today is one of the best days in a long time where the sun is shining down on me and I am truly grateful.

She

was bringing completely unreasonable that day when she didn’t get her way for one you didn’t listen to what you had to say.

Two she choose to try to use you everyday because she felt she could and she would be able to for a lot longer than she did.

She had absolute no problem calling someone else out when only five minutes ago she was doing the same thing.

What to with someone who feels they do no wrong but feel the heat every time they pray or try to bring someone down the wrong path.

a manikin I felt so naked that day in front of all those people when the words I needed to say would not come out.

And there you were looking so calm in the front row sit smiling up at me and encouraging me with your smile to continue on and to not give up or feel down when I happen to stumble over my words.

That day was just the beginning of you being by my side and cheering me on, I know now you were like my guardian angel watching over me when no one else did.

your time we are late like the spring weather.

Were moving slower than the breeze blowing through this area making the weather great.

I want to yell for you to wake up so we can get a move on it.

But, I feel like all you are doing is bringing  us all down and stress level is so high I feel like I could just burst any moment now from all the anger rocking inside my body.

Right now my temper is at the edge and I would love to just let it out or for it to go away and the calm of yesterday come over me again.

I want

to just feel the breeze as spring finally arrives.

Layers are no longer something to deal with as the sun is out and the moods of everyone is so light.

And were all floating around as light as a feather with no worry in the world.

And I look up and thank the lord today is so great because without his help the light would never come.

Now if only each day or every other day could be so great.
