Heroic is a particular word.
The kind that doesn’t have to ask to be noticed.
The perfect fit for a safety label.
For the strength to vibrate deeply.
To roll along the lines coloring happiness along the way.
And it does until it doesn’t.
Not because it wavers but because we do.
Not because it’s heavy but because our own weight remains.
Not because it’s easy but because it’s easy to hold it over us.
Heroic is a particular word.
The kind that feels good.
A truth that can be seen.
A standing out and also a fitting in.
A validation that works.
And it does until it doesn’t.
Not because its evidence fades, but because stories curve away.
Not because it isn’t right for us but because there’s still unfinished business within us.
Not because the moments aren’t ours but because there are uncharted ones ahead.
Heroic is a particular word.
The kind that’s easier to understand elsewhere.
A version that’s feels misleading within our own dialogues.
The type that’s easily ignored when there are budget cuts.
Something unknowingly leaned upon in survival.
And it is until it isn’t.
Not because it changed but because allowing us to be is changing.
Not because it’s perfected but because we don’t need the details to be just right.
Not because it’s wearing our best but because consistency shows our strength.
Heroic is a particular word.
The kind that isn’t certified as valuable.
A smaller image that’s overlooked.
As a quiet and almost silent campaign.
As a contributor whose meaning feels dull.
And it is until it isn’t.
Not because the light was turned up but because our views are adjusting to the lighting.
Not because it’s no longer whispering but because our shows are worth leaning in to hear.
Not because it’s now holds confidence but because we can embrace shaky input.
Heroic is a particular word whose recordable events have been normalized by certain details.
But if we define our gardens with the edges from other gardeners, the tour dates of our brave will be in the dark.
If the flower fits over there, then it fits over here too because even when we are stuck with flickering lights and weak points, resilience continues to bloom in our homes.
Heroic is a particular word, but in stories crowded with moments, it isn’t the only one.
Have the best day, POSSIBLE for you. Love Always, Heavell
