& so this is your life, are you who you want to be?
learning to bridge the gap.
learning what it means to let go. learning what it means to hold on. learning the difference to the two. learning that letting go sometimes doesn't mean giving up or giving in, but holding out for what is better, what is coming.
learning that I am made uniquely and wonderfully and beautifully, to be who I am.
& mostly. learning to let go of the things I cling so tightly to that do not define me.
a list :
thick ankles
fear
the idea of a perfect body
acne
society's definition of beauty
a cookie cutter life
apathy
pursuit of perfection
unwillingness to seek
& i will be bold. i will be brave with my life & story so others can be brave with theirs. i will be honest. i will be steadfast. & i will be who I am & live my life to the width & depth & breadth. & i will seek Jesus & I will praise His name & I will let my life be my song to glorify Him.
He has given me words to speak & a story to live.
& i will live it.
yes yes yes.
