Ambitious and assertive
Brilliantly brave
Confident and creative
Desperately trying to prove that I am
Empowered and energetic
Fearless and fabulously
gifted
Hoping to convince the world, or maybe myself, that I can be
Independent, imaginative,
Joyful, and
Kind, with all the skills to be a
Leader, a
Mindful motivator
Noble and nurturing, always
Optimistic and open-minded
Powerful and proactive,
Quick-witted, with a delightful hint of quirky
Resilient and resourceful, radiating
Strength, but
The thing is
Unfortunately, however unique, unstoppable,
Vibrant, and
Wise I try to be, I always seem to fall short of the equation where
X equals happy with myself
Yet, despite my shortcomings, I will
Zealously continue to seek who I am and find my peace

Love this - the acceptance that even though we never quite feel it, we can still act in line with being our best selves.
This was so profound, optimistic and uplifting! Loved your Abecedarian!
