Finding inspiration and then, myself

April 1, 2009 | Filed Under Random 

I’ve been in the trenches for a while…dealing with stuff…with me. Coming to terms with my self, my life, my honesty with myself about myself. Being faced with yourself, I suppose, is as painful as we allow it to be. Depends on our approach. Mine was kind of wack. Resistant. Well, change is the only constant. Try to fight it if you will. You will lose. All the time. Every time.

I crossed digital paths with a young lady yesterday who reminded me of a version of myself I forgot about. Last night, I sat down to thank her. It went a little something like this:

femi…

you’re brilliant. today, you’ve inspired me. not just on the hair tip, but just period. to be me. do me. live. love. move on. expand. experience.

i’ve been stuck in one place harping over the hurt of lost love, holding on as though letting go means my heart will never experience the joy it has before. once upon a time.

once upon a time, i used to write. not things that simply sounded nice, but expressed my emotions and put others in touch with theirs. today, i’ve reconnected with that. the part of me that was waiting to be rediscovered, so quietly, yet painfully waiting…

and finally, i arrive.

thank you. for being you. doing you. living. loving. moving on. expanding and experiencing. you definitely inspire.

love&light…
