Thoughts & Ramblings

She's lost a lot this year -

Friends, dreams, herself (at times).

But, that hasn't stopped her for long.

She's growing in the doubt and moments of unhappiness.

She's trusting herself more.

She's doing what she wants and learning to stop being so hard on herself or feel that she's always in the wrong.

She accepts responsibility for what she can, but leaves the rest behind.

It's not her job to support and make everyone happy.

It's time to cut out the negativity and move on from the shadow she's been living under.

It's her time to shine now.

I stand in the background far too often.

No, I don't always like the limelight.

But, sometimes I unintentionally let others take credit and let them speak louder, just because they're better at it.

It's like I'm an impostor and don't feel like I can reach the same level.

And so I hide.

I hide behind the "stars" and the big personalities.

And I wish that I could be more like them.

But, at the end of the day, I'm just me. I've learned that's enough.

That's all for now,
