A thousand bits of time
All swirled within my mind.
Travelling to and fro
Yet neither could I go.
A dream that lies within me
While I lie awake.
Burns every deeply
Yet not an ounce of pain.
I hear you creeping near
Hiding beneath the stairs.
Closer to the surface
Of this hallowed side.
A thousand times over
And each not within reach.
I stumble here and there
Within my frail mind.
For a thousand dreams
Time and riem again
I see the future of me
That truly cannot be.

Finding Your Light: Embracing Imperfection
When you stop trying to please others and cease striving for perfection, your light returns. We often believe that women become unhappy because they are not pretty enough, not perfect enough, or not hardworking enough. But what truly exhausts women isn't these things. It’s trying too hard in life.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
