I am flawed and not perfect, and I have made mistakes. I am also resilient, and kind. I am enough, I am worthy exactly as I am.

Negativety has flooded my life lately, in one form or another. I have walked through more fires before and I am still here. Someone I once considered close told me I was running or hiding behind some form of filter. That I was hiding who I was. Not only do I not agree with that, it couldn’t be father from understanding myself and my narrative.

I alone am the architect of my own peace, and I choose what I allow into my space. My worth is not defined by other’s perception of me, my worth is based on my own progress. My worth is constant of hope and love of my own definition, no one elses. I have the right to to evlove and to change. To outgrow versions of myself that no longer serve me.

I know one thing, I am deserving of love and kindness, starting with the love and kindness I give to myself.

I am prioritizing my rest, my family, my school, and that alone at the the moment. I am focusing on the person I am becoming. What is important are these moments moving forward on this path. Not the past. Not the future. But the present precious moments that matter so much.

So. To answer your question. No I am not running. I am facing my life head on. I am not escaping. I choose to live in love and peace.
