Day 196: “Lady Luck”

Luck

is my middle name

It follows me everywhere

Luck

Lives in my mind

My body

A state of mind

Luck is a choice

An intention

A philosophy

I choose to be lucky

To approach the world with an unwavering trust

That all is working in my favor

I can’t wait to see what the future holds

Day 191: “In the Comments”

Why do people feel the need to

to bring the energy down

To hate

To spew

To spit

Why are they so miserable

that they have to tear people down

Summon storms to their parade

Stomp on their passions

Their joys

It’s honestly so sad

That we can’t all just be happy for each other

The comment section is a scary place

Day 190: “Therapy Wins”

Historically

I’ve felt embarrassed when I cry in front of others

Especially people I don’t know well…

Or at all

But tonight

I cried

I cried

And I cried

In front of people

I spoke and shared what I wanted to

With tears in my eyes

And a frog in my throat

I didn’t know I’d be so emotional!

But I shared

And I cried

And I cried

And I cried

I felt what I needed to

And I didn’t feel embarrassed

I didn’t feel judged

By others

But that wasn’t the point

I didn’t judge myself

Another win from therapy

Day 187: “Waiting Game”

Why are we constantly in a waiting game?

Waiting for this to happen so I can finally make that change and be fulfilled

I blame society

For needing money and stability

But I really want to just say fuck it

And live the life of my dreams

What if I don’t have to wait?

Maybe what’s really holding me back is fear
