I am scared but never fearful
I once lost myself deeply in love
I found myself because of this
It will always be a successful relationship for this reason
I have made poor choices that came with a landslide of shame and remorse
I learned the importance of never putting my values down
I breathe them now
Those values line the soles of my shoes
I don’t regret my choices for they have taught me
I stumble and I fall
I always get back up
It will happen again
I am not perfect
I never will be nor do I care to chase illusions of such
My humility and compassion live in my fabric because of this
My glass is not half empty nor half full
My life and attitude are not measured by a glass
I am open and vast and ever-expanding
My heart is pure and this is all the perfect I need
I make no apologies for who I have been or who I am
I am strength and gentle in equal force
Simply
I am me.

Kind of blended my thoughts and reflections of conversations I have had with a lot of women lately. Seems to be a thread that has been prevelant in conversations as of late.

This is such a wonderful statement, Alisa. Beautifully expressing the strength we find when we are dropped by another and no one else is near to help us stand…we do it on our own and in doing so we find muscles we never knew we had.
