Because I desire for connection
I'll write here
In the safety of this tiny space I've created for myself
Where if people are curious
They can find me
If you want to know what I think
It's here
In nuance and grey area
If you want to know me
You are free to know me
But I won't be anything you think I am
I don't desire to please anyone anymore
I desire
More than anything
To be myself
In all of this time and space
I've learned to love myself
Gaslighting, manipulation, shame, guilt
They can't influence me anymore
My life
Is up to no one else
My life is mine
So if you wish to know me
You'll have to find me
Outside of everything you think I should be
Because if I've learned anything
It's that nobody knows what's best for anyone else
Everyone only acts out of their own experiences
And while personal experience is educational
It does not encompass all that is
If you wish to help another
Help them tune into their own guidance system
Help them love themselves
In all of our similarities and differences
It takes all types
We are all worthy and have something to offer
If you love someone
Love them in their wholeness
And let them show you who they are
Without the filter you place upon them
Open your mind to nuance and variance
Open your mind to more
And you will be blown away
By how much there is to discover
My journey now
Is in this
The discovery
Needing to know less
And exist more
