The journey to self-acceptance is taxing,
The journal of old narratives & beliefs must be erased from the mind, line by line, word by word.

The cocoon of lies & tags is so gratifying and so rooted in the identity that untangling it scratches the entire being,
Yet, the process is liberating, exhausting, and unrestrained to develop a stronger character.

Society doesn’t guide us that it’s inaccurate to say, “I am emotional.”
The accurate affirmation is that “I feel emotional.”
How you label yourself and the feelings you feel is the difference between anguish & wisdom.

It is a constant fight to believe in every facet of our entity, temperament, past judgments, intentions, and a spot in the societal hierarchy.
But, only in these ambiguous moments does the spark of self-forgiveness & acceptance crackle up.
