Life isn't always pretty.
Sometimes its dark, twisted, confusing and wild.
Sometimes you aren't even sure you are truly alive.
— except you have grown to know that life
isn’t always flowers, light and butterflies.
Life, when truly lived, is also filled with shadows.
Yours and those of the beloved.
Together you dance with your shadows and live out your karmic baggage.
You look at your stories, live your heritage and in the end, heal your family story.
Life isn’t always pretty.
Sometimes its dark, twisted, confusing and wild.
Sometimes you want to run.
Want to leave it all behind in order to save yourself from further pain.
But know, beautiful one. Only after you look at what life is throwing at you
can you heal it.
Only through accepting your story,
only through acknowledging what you came from,
what you are made off,
what your linage carries,
only after seeing all of it
can you heal it.
So feel it, beautiful one
See it.
Know it.
Sit with it and let life fill you with all its power.
And then.
Just when you think it will break you.
Just when you think you are not able to bear it all, then…
Then you will rise. Wiser, stronger, more aware of who and what you are.
And you will hold the power to choose a new way of living.
A new path.
Life isn’t always pretty.
Sometimes its dark, twisted, confusing and wild.
But hold on, beautiful one.
Hold on.
Brighter days are coming.
