Christmas is

coming as November ends and December almost begins.

You know then that the year is almost over.

And you have done so much but you slacked a little too.

But there is still so much time that you should just relax but still move forward too.

For there is no time to spare as you head into a new adventure that waits you and the many more open doors that will come soon.

Only you can experience the unexpected as the magic of Christmas comes near.

Going home

For the holidays was all everyone

Wants to do after being away from their family all year long.

But not this year for safety out rules the need to get too close.

Hope that one day the ability to gather around the table again.

Could be possible is well worth waiting for.

I’ll see you next year, maybe.

You don’t

get to walk in here and judge me anymore.

You don’t know me and I will stand up for myself.

I’m not the little girl anymore

I’ve faced my past and I’m moving on from it as my present is where I am now

And my future is yet to be discovered and grow into something great.

Take my

Hand and hold on to it so tightly.

For there’s nothing that could tear us apart

For I believe in us and this feels so real and more than nice.

Today, Tomorrow is all that matters and I can’t say that I won’t fall out of love

And fall back in love with you all over again because you complete me like no other.

When I get angry and I yell and I get it all out, before I can walk out that door the feeling of anger has faded away and I can’t fight to bring it back either.

I just have to accept that you calm me down and allow me to speak my mind but you win every time because I will never beat you in this thing called life.

And I am okay with that because you will always be higher than me and to accept that is my first step in growing and making it far.

I had

to give up on what I thought was my path.

For I knew and felt it was time to move on and let it all go.

As a feeling inside of me started to grow and burn so much.

I couldn’t ignore it anymore and I had to make the leap or I would go under.

Because I knew this situation was different than before and time is on my side

for when it’s done, it’s done because it’s mine and no one else can take this moment from me.

So precious

Week 251 of Three Line Tales

little girl playing in fall leaves

Is our time as a child when the simple things in life made us so happy.

Like playing in the leaves on a fall day with a big smile on our face and laughter in the air.

With no concern for anything else for having fun was all that mattered at the time.

Week 250 of Three Line Tales

a swan gliding over a lake with a fairy castle in the background

Swan I just want to travel off into the fog with no worry or concern insight.

As I travel through this life the way I want to starting now and I won’t look back for no more putting others before myself.

For I don’t want to fall into the trap of disappointment again and just let the water take me where I’m suppose to go.
