Pride: war of the egos

Always on fight mode.Who are you fighting? Where are you going? What’s the price? Learn to let go. Not everything needs a fight. Sometimes, shutting up helps. Well, I’ve always been a fighter. A stir that boils deep inside, takes over all senses, demands to be felt and only rests when it’s done. Know what …

The vow: I do.

Here I am. Once again looking over myself. Is it with pity or rage that I find myself brimming with tears, that have long lost its meaning. Look around, what do you see? Swiftly turn your gaze, there, don’t break contact. This is who we attract. Shame, disgust, let’s run far away. It’s not supposed …

Pause

What is this season of your life trying to teach you? I saw this question the other day scrolling on my socials. I paused and took a moment to think about it. Then it came to me. I’ve written a new blog in my head over a hundred times for the past couple of months …

Birthright

Lately I’ve been finding myself second-guessing every single move. I’m too critical, too much. Too much doubt, too much hate, where do I draw the line? I should award myself with a higher standard.

H.O.P.E

Crushed one too many times I fear that the one that will finally end us is me. That I’ll do it myself. Will I even notice? Will I recognize the hand twisting the knife one last time to be my own? Will it be an act of betrayal or mercy? Maybe I’m accustomed to the …

Inner child: pt.1

We’ve been fighting for so long. Every experience chipping away something from me. I don’t feel the same. I’ve changed. What do I do when I look in the mirror and I’m met with a brokenness that I don’t want to recognise. I have lost who I was. I’ve lost myself. Things are not how …
