We are shaped by but not actually bound to the history that lingers with its pressure that we are not out of reach of the backstories that we endure every day in the poor lighting of old programming.

And yet most of us are like this in our commitment to yesterday’s art that walks stride for stride with us even though we dream of knowing ourselves differently.

And still old stories won’t let us be great amongst the inspiring expectations of change because we speak against ourselves about what has been archived on our pages.

And even when we try to safely release the past, rules of thoughts are replicated out of habit that will then be used to frame tomorrow’s grief and dreams, leaving us sideways once again.

After all, darkness is resourceful in taking parts of our hearts with its big and messy messages that makes it impossible to lean into ourselves in any other way than negatively.     

And this is how we become caught in the unwelcoming pause between the bouquet of previous versions of ourselves and the unknown possibilities of the individuals that up to this point, we have not met within ourselves. 

So, then it becomes even more likely for us to fall back into the ecosystem of survival because moments are still mistaken for proof of who we are rather than as the actions and responses of an understanding whose highlights got us this far.    

But if we can become friends with the parts of ourselves that have walked around grieving and dreaming, we have the opportunity to do what we have never done before which is to have the courage to approve of ourselves.

Because even though hope keeps what we think we are seeking, it also dwells in the ultimate desire to like who we see in the mirror especially when the noise on the inside threatens our sustainability.

Words of old attachments affect who we are today so we can ask ourselves what we would do differently in those spots and emerge from their shadows with an up to date knowing to use in the tomorrows.

New chapters need us to love ourselves in unlikeable moments and to trust that magic isn’t in being perfect or having flawless weather on the inside but in taking the dark and delivering a different message from it to our homes.

There are easy pickings to be shaped by in everyone’s story and if we are going to do that, we deserve to know that we can leave better what we find by letting go of former understandings that are no longer useful.       

Have the best day POSSIBLE for you. Love Always, Heavell
