For Now Let Me Just Say

~Author Unknown~

Sometimes I feel like I have more to say to myself
But I can’t find the words. And all that comes to mind is -

I am beautiful.
I am worthy of living
and loving.
I am exquisite – unique.
I am believable – as me.

Why did I waste all these years….?!?

Never mind. Ignore her.
I’m back. I am grateful.
The eating disorder, the depression, the anxiety
they were all just signposts.
They were my South, East and West
pointing me North to NOW.

Now…when I know I am beautiful.
Now…when I know I am worthy of living and loving.
Now…when I know I am exquisite – unique.
Now…when I know I am beautiful – as me.
Now…when I know that, YES, I am capable of achieving great things
But, more importantly, I know that I have already achieved great things
because -

I survived.
I survived myself.
I survived others’ pain.
I survived this media-saturated society we live in
with body, mind, heart and soul stubbornly
intact.

In fact, I did more than survive.
I regrouped.
I restored.
I rebuilt.
I revived.

And even now I am regrouping.
I am restoring.
I am rebuilding.
I am reviving, discovering, accepting and exploring
the ‘me’ in all this.
The me who got lost and left behind.
The me who was forgotten and misplaced her voice
for awhile because of it.

So amazing – she sings again.

I sing again.
And I speak.
I speak out against some
But mostly towards all of us
Who have splintered off our hearts and souls
from our minds and bodies….
who have forgotten that we are all whole by design
and that Whole is the only way.

Whole is beautiful.
Whole is worth living and loving.
Whole is exquisite – utterly unique.
Whole is believable – the only believable you and me.

And most of all, whole is the only thing worth dying
Living and fighting for…do we ever really realize -

You are the only you who ever was, is, or ever will be.
And I am the only me.

Sometimes I feel like I have more to say to myself – to everyone –
But I just can’t find the words.
So for now, let me just say –
TRUST. HOPE. FAITH. LOVE. LIVE. TRIUMPH. BELIEVE.
