MOVING

My strength found me when I was in an extreme crisis. I closed myself to all forms of communication, and I repeated that I was better off alone. We all do it now and then when it's easier to play victim than hold ourselves accountable.

I hid from my strength and capacity until I could feel, hold, and hear myself better.

Then I said, I can change.

With the knowledge that I knew myself, I was free. I did not need to open myself up to anyone else. Now, I am open to receiving myself.

The light that covers us is the light that sets us free. I drew myself from the darkness and held every part of myself open to every other part of myself.

I took my very first steps. I will keep moving.
