What advice would you give to your teenage self?

Wow so much advice, you are loved.

People don’t always understand you but they do love you. The once that matter will be there when you need them. You’re a good person. Love yourself. Because you are your worst enemy and your biggest critic.

You’re not stupid. You are worthy of happiness and you will have it. You just need to believe. I know things aren’t easy but you’ll get there. Don’t hurt yourself. It achieves nothing. Just more heartache. You didn’t deserve the past. It wasn’t your fault! You were loved.

Your beauty is genuine,
You may not feel it or see it, but others do.
In world full of expectations
Whether it be wealth, career or status,
It’s about who you see when you look at yourself and what you need,
Change nothing and be you; YOU matter.
And the people who know you, the real you,
The dark and the light,
As well as beautiful colours that you personify,
Will out shine the dark and you will be everything and more.

Simplicity

Simple time spent with someone that matters,

Laughing at the bad luck encountered,

Stuck on the beach in the middle downpour,

With the tiniest of umbrellas,

Trying to shelter two when ones is at a push,

Days like these,

Completely unplanned and badly executed,

But you find yourself laughing till you choke,

Belly laugh out of control.

Finding humour in that moment and rising above the tragedy of it all.

Drizzle

As I walk a fine rain falls,

Draping my face with a refreshing feeling,

Which is darkened by my somber mood,

Today my emotions are blurred,

My thoughts are racing,

So weak.

Re-runs playing, tears displaying,

Pathetic,embarrassment, small and insecure,

Everything I have tried to hide, to protect.

My walls tumbling down.

I hurt, today I’m hurting,

I didn’t need an intervention.

There is no chip, I know my worth,

And I have accepted it.

I was part of that 50% and I ran with it,

And look what I got, my life is full.
