The Block is Broken

I have had a terrible case of writer's block for the past couple of months. I've had so much to say, but for the life of me I couldn't find the words. I realized that I wasn't trusting my own voice and allowing myself to just say whatever was on my mind. This got me to thinking, where am I holding back in my life? Where am I afraid to allow myself to show up fully?

One thing that always keeps me holding back is a sense of shame. Shame that I'm not where I thought I'd be at this point in my life. Shame that my experience in life has been so much different and often times desperately sad. I understand now that when I look at my life with compassion instead of fear and judgement, I can see myself for who I am, not what others MAY think.


My life has been difficult and my journey to where I want to be has longer than I may have anticipated, but that doesn't make me a loser. It makes me a fighter. It's ok that I don't have it all figured out and know exactly what will happen next, or how long it take to happen. The timeline is really none of my business. All I can do is keep moving forward and be love for myself. I came across this quote for the millionth time moments ago, and this is the first time it's meant any thing to me. "It does not matter how slow you go as long as you do not stop". It's my mantra. You'll be hearing a lot more from me. I promise.
