True Colors

Why can it feel scary to discover my true colors?

Maybe it’s doubt or fear, or maybe the fear of being weird. But what's this journey for if not to face what we fear? It’s better to jump into the unknown than to live ignorant to what makes my heart grow.

I feel rush to chase authenticity and truth, but truth is sit still long enough and it comes to you.

Sometimes the pressure of my thoughts, social structures and everything that I “ought”,

Floods my brain and feels like I can’t make it stop.

But then I remember to pay attention to my breath so through my breath I can tell my body “Everythings okay. I’m here to stay.”.

You see it’s not about him or she, it’s about taking the moment to see what you truly need.

Be vocal, be loud. Take up space regardless of crowds.

Live by your true colors even if they differ from others.

Your happiness does not depend on him or she or them or they.

Your happiness is a choice you must make every day.

Let go what no longer serves you.

Better to let go of it now before it consumes you.

Instead take the moment to feel the kisses of the sun, the wind between your fingers, the May showers that linger.

The joy of a song, the laugh of a joke, the look of lover, to be inspired by others.

Find what makes your chest glow, discover your true colors.

The rareness that it is to exist within a moment like this. To be able to feel, to love, to have the opportunity to know what all of this really is.

Some days can be harder than others. Some are grayer. Some are darker.

But isn’t it in the dark that a seedling begins to sprout and with time becomes a flower?

You wouldn’t have your highs without your lows.

Everything serves a purpose, even the things you don’t want to show.

Don’t fear to learn about your true you.

The you that’s unique, explodes with color, and lives by the reality you choose.

You are truly the only you.

With flaws and all. Your amazing imperfections make you who you are.

Don’t run or hide from yourself. Look ahead and stay true to thyself.

You see, until you stay true to thyself, you will have this internal struggle that makes you doubt yourself. And when you doubt yourself you are vulnerable to those thoughts that hurt your Self.

Love your Self, protect your Self, live by the beat of your own drum.

And let life take you to what you want to become.

Find your purpose, find your colors, find that which makes your heart flutter.

You are the architect of your life, the creator of your own wonder.

Many have come and many have gone.

But isn’t the cycle of life just that? Like a Song.

You sing, you dance, you may cry, or even laugh but you enjoy the song knowing it will come to an end.

Like a breath; you take a deep breath, hold, and let go. You must do this with all that you know.

Nothing is permanent. Not our skin, not our home. So how amazing would it be to make this life truly your own!

Take a deep breath, take your moment, see where you stand.

Set your boundaries. It’s okay if not everyone understands.

It’s your true colors that makes your sun yellow and your skies blue. It’s you that makes this life worth living with all of your truth.
