Everything in life that happens to you is for you and the Divine tragedy is not to experience it as it is. The deepest, darkest internal selves are where the love lives waiting to be expressed.
I looked in the mirror.
I saw not just a face
But a reflection of my past,
Accomplishments laced with mistakes.
I saw one space
Collecting all of my fears.
I saw tears held back—
I-love-yous
Held back too.
How many years I have not known my self.
As long as it has taken to get back to you,
I would retrace every step
Just so that I could be here to say
I love you.
Because now I know the truth:
Love runs deep in the veins of the pulsing
Universe.
Love is my name, and
I’ll not soon forget who I see
When I catch my reflection
Gazing back at me.

Thank you for your words! I am deliberately trying to love myself and learn myself thru darkness and ultimately light. This brought me to tears and then prayer. I feel like I have not been present in my own life a lot. I want to be present with me first, then everyone else around me. I can’t blame those who did not love me or tricked me to believe they loved me because I wasn’t loving myself, so how could they.

The bottom line; forgive yourself and be kind to yourself. You deserve your love no matter what you think you’ve done or not done. There is no one better or worse we are all whole and one. We are in this together. Thanks for reading,
