i know me best
she's soft. she's stubborn. she knows.
sometimes
people think they know you
better than you do
they tell you
how to feel
how to heal
how to live
like your heart
is something they’ve read about
but never held
they mean well—
most of the time
but this is your journey
and no one else
can walk it for you
you will know
when it’s your time
your truth
your healing
you’ve always known
you.

if this one reminds you of yourself, even just a little, then i hope you feel held here. thanks for reading, always 🤍
I’ve recently been thinking a lot about the impressions I leave on people. There are some out there who haven’t seen me in years, yet still assume they know who I am. But we are always changing, aren’t we?
There is no use in having others define who we are for us, they most likely don’t even know half the story. I enjoyed this!
This is beautiful, and such a needed reminder for me today- thank you for sharing, coming across this feels serendipitous and I’ll carry your words with me for a while.
“you’ve always known
you.” Stunning and in its simplicity and meaningful depth, so true.
