Letters To Self…

Dear, body, soul, and mind,

It is time to leave the woes of the past behind. There is no longer a reason to dwell or remind. Begin making movements forward now. Worry not of the whys or how. Instead live being joyous, happy, and full of life. Know you have succeeded in conquering much strife. Be the person you were meant to be. Able to take pride in the phrase “That was me”! Showing through action and love. Understanding what to do when push comes to shove. Work at making the right choice. So when the time comes you will have that voice. Knowing better what to do or say. Never giving up or walking away. Stay steadfast and continue to win that fight. Everyday… Morning, Noon, and all throughout the Night.
