Welll Hello You! The streets are buzzing with Christmas cheer and the evening comes alive with bright lights, music and beautiful decor. It really is that time of the year. So here is something that aligns with the moment. 

 

✨ Awake & Becoming ✨

It feels like someone finally turned on the lights in a room I’ve lived in for years 

and for the first time, I can see everything clearly.

I don’t have all the answers,

but I have boundaries now.

My maybe has become No,

and my voice, the one I used to shrink,

now rises with ease:

“I’m not doing that.” I don't have too.

 

I feel intentional. Lighter.

Present.

Aware.

 

Being single isn’t loneliness,

it’s awareness.

It’s learning who I am today,

what I want,

and who I would ever allow near that softness again.

It’s knowing what I’m not willing to carry

into my next chapter, enjoying the little details of the Christmas cheer,

no confusion, no half-love,

no weight that isn’t mine.

 

I finally have room to breathe. Really breathe

without rushing into whatever comes next.

And that is the best feeling ever.

 

No more pondering,

no more overthinking,

no more checking in,

no more analyzing someone else’s inconsistencies.

Just doing what’s best for me

right now,

in real time.

 

That’s where my happiness lives

in that peace of mind

It’s accepting what is

without wishing it different.

It’s being content with myself,

my space,

my pace.

 

I am happy

because I chose me.

I’m not fully healed,

but I am not defeated.

Life didn’t break me,

it woke me.

 

My eyes are wide open.

I am healing.

I am honest.

I am in my truth, in my journey,

and I’m finally walking it

with both feet grounded

and my whole heart aware.
