Use this page as a reminder for your journey. Mindfulness is an ongoing learning experience. Keep pursuing those mental health goals and continue to grow mentally. Your path to happiness has not ended with minor obstacles or lapses. It never ends. You continuously grow and evolve until you reach your enlightened state.
Let it go. Let go of your beliefs of your desires of the flesh. release, break down, succumb to, and submit to the breaking. Allow the bones to crack the tears to flow and the heart to ache. release the pain of the preconceived ideas of your life and submit. let go and let Him be. Let Him consume, fill, and renew. As you are rebuilt let the renewal of your mind be the peace of understanding, in that in Him the old is gone and passed away. Let go, if you know that your soul must grow. Let go if it's destined and you know whom you rest in. Let go and let love be the thing that replenishes. Let GO.
Let Go
Her Pain
Does it ever occur to people that others feel pain? That the individual you decide to hurt whether emotionally mentally or physically… We all feel it. The pain I have endured, that I endure, and I would never wish it upon anyone. I know my pain is/was real. I felt it. It hurt me. However, the pain that others inflict on others, baffles me. Why would a sentient being with love, pain, and hurt ever feel the need or want to perpetuate grief on another? Pain only goes one way. The only way to stop it is for it never to have started. To see your pain as my pain, to never hurt yourself because if you hurt me you're inevitably hurting yourself.
Am I a butterfly trapped in a bottle? Am I meant to be gawked at? Those who gawk, behind this thin glass, compare my eyes to theirs, my nose to theirs, and my hair to their scales. Just like that this butterfly’s wings can’t expand trapped under the pressure of that invisible barrier, I cannot reach my potential because I am just a trophy sat on the shelf of the catcher.
But this butterfly refuses to live life locked away above your fireplace. My thoughts, my schemes, and my tenacity will never fail me. I will spread my wings and they--I will fly.Tips of my wings press the edges of this clear coffin, not being able to expand. my feet touch the cold bottom this towering cylinder prison. I feel the slightest of breezes caress my cheek, wrapping its coll hands around my face...

"You and I can light up the sky; you and I are just like the night; your eyes they sparkle so bright; that smile illuminates the night; you and I can light up the sky; you and I are just like the night; the stars are in your eyes alright; the moon reflects that light; cause you and I are like the night; the stars are in your eyes; they light up the sky"

"Roses are red, violets are blue
your smile emits the same view
the natural beauty of the wave, the curl
the way you bite your lip. Its everything I see. The tough of your fingertips. The feeling lingers deep.
Keep the night as our cover.
The stars the specs of lint from our down.
comfy and warm I sleep in the swarm of our love.
Rapture and captured in this inescapable sensation. I want to stay trapped in your loves temptation."
Tyler S.
"I bargained with Life for a penny
And Life would pay no more,
However I begged at evening,
When I counted my scanty store.
For Life is a just employer, He gives you what you ask,
But once you have set the wages, why you must bear the task.
I worked for a menial's hire only to learn, dismayed, that any wage I had asked of Life, Life would have willing paid"

Haiku for You
"Your beauty transcends all others. For your mind is filled with love. I see your beauty blind."
"Life is your garden. You must water her and love her. Caress her and nurture her. Give her sun and light. Remember the meaning of life...to grow."
