Reflections

A quiet space for the words that find their way through feeling-

for the moments of reflection that bring us back to ourselves.

When I saw myself clearly,

I realized how easy I am to love.

I turned inward

and gave myself everything

I once searched for in others-

the softness,

the reassurance,

the kind of love that stays.

And in that quiet return to myself,

I discovered something sacred…

The love I desired

was never outside of me.

It was waiting-

within my own hands,

within my own heart.

And becoming that for myself

was the greatest gift

I could have ever given..

and received.

A collection of my poetry will be released soon.

This is only the beginning.
