But trying to find my way to something new.

As the past is long gone

And present is eye-opening

But where do I fit in now?

Everyone is moving around me, and I am stuck trying to figure it out.

I have moments when the picture pops up, and I see what I could be.

And I know only time will tell if it will work out, and right now, to be alive in the present moment is all I could honestly hope for.

What does “having it all” mean to you? Is it attainable?

“Having it all” mean to me? Is it attainable?

If having it all meant you have all the things you could ever desire, that’s not about material things.

Then maybe it’s because many people feel others have it all: because they are financially stable and can get plenty of whatever they want.

Living a life focused on God, myself, and those close to me and knowing I am living out my purpose and will hopefully have all I need to survive would be having it all for me.

Because if I’m happy with the life im living, then the material things, just the hype, isn’t as important as it used to be and as long as I don’t compare my life to others I should be just fine living my way.

I doing

They say

Just living my life I say

I know I’m trying to do the most

But have you ever lived a half-full life

A life that lights you up inside but also tears you down.

Because you were trying to please them all

But what about me, the woman left in her thoughts when you’re gone?

The woman has to find herself so she can continue sharing.

Because she doesn’t deserve to be fulfilled, too, even if she may be going on a different path than before?

This one hits home as I find myself letting go of things and fighting for the joy of living a life for me.

Because I feel like I’ve been holding on to certain things not to feel disconnected.

But sometimes, we grow out of stuff and realize we want more, and that’s okay!
