It is exactly the message I need to tell myself after the last couple of days I have had. I even wrote more about it on my most recent Instagram post - about editing my life. So check out my Instagram to see what's new there. I post new daily content on my Insta and Insta stories. Anyhow, before I get to the poem here is what I wrote about life lately and editing my life:
"2018 has been the year where I have edited my life, endlessly, cruelly, ruthlessly, absolutely!! Taking all the negativity away and closing the doors off to all those people who are a constant bad seed in my life and try to take me down every chance they get. This year l have learned to look deep down inside my heart and believe that everything happens for a reason; that I am stronger than anyone gives me credit for; that the root of all evil lies within each malicious thing people say; that we can choose to be kind and/or silent or be aggressive and respond in the same way. This year I keep choosing #selfjoy #everyday because I can and because I want to. This year I choose to be happy despite of the unhappiness surrounding me. I love my life as is and I will love it more a year from now. I love my daughter unconditionally and I will choose what's right for her, every day. I will protect both of our happiness at every cost!! Today I choose to live as I throw away the trash others try to "sell" me and kill them with my genuine smile as they walk away without fulfilling their purpose. Today I also embrace God as he is the only one who can judge me. So, if you have a lot of spam in your life too, I suggest you edit it as well. Make your life your own masterpiece and continue improving it each day!"
Now, on to the poem. Hope you like it!
The Driver.
(May 2018.)
A path sometimes we didn't take
may cause us decisions we now have to
make,
broken promises at the other end,
but a rainbow shows when you thought it
can't!
Life is full of cycles and habits,
routines and flow,
a magazine full of pages we filled with
truth and some glow,
some pictures are un-touched, raw and
not our best,
some are like the selfies with filters
we use to no rest!
Some days feel like Instagram snaps of
beauty and fluff,
some days we look like shit and we
cannot bluff,
some nights call for the most amazing
intimacy with that special someone,
some nights we are by ourselves and no
romance in sight, just alone!
...In spite of what happens, when and
how,
we continue to grow as we cry our eyes
out,
emotions filling the soul and memories
unfolding,
what if's and questions we can't
answer, keep rising...
We are like a plant that goes through
every step of blooming,
we live every season through rain,
thunderstorm, sunshine and snowing,
we have batteries that sometimes expire
or simply don't work,
but we wake up each morning still ready
to re-charge!
Because you can't let one single event,
year or even a decade
damage your happiness, ruin the rest of
your life,
you can choose to dwell and fill up
entire tissues,
or you can choose to move on and
remember everyone has issues...
So take your issues and make a decision
now,
follow your heart and let your sparkle
glow,
let out the inner child within you and
make a mistake or two,
don't drive yourself crazy, in this
life the driver are you!
Due to working all day and also due to a horrible migraine I have nothing prepared as a new Thursday Moda post. If I wake up OK Thurs AM I may put something together. But either way I won't sweat it lol. I am leaving the linkup at the end of this post though. Have a great rest of the week of I don't see you on the blog until Monday. =)
