Musings and reflection Self-Realization

Stepping stones

by Trish / 15/09/2016

Since I was little, I wanted to be a writer. I would pretend that I had written the books I was reading, dreaming of a day when my books would be in print. I stumbled onto the style I liked best quite early, when my mum inadvertently bought me an anthology of Roald Dahl’s stories when I was 10. I don’t know if she realized that his adult stories were quite a bit overtly darker than his kids stories. I…

Fall..
Into the habit of existing on a path that stays steady and leads me true.
Into a place I never expected to find him, and I meant that to be home but sometimes autocorrect knows just what it's doing. #meanderingroadsgothebestplaces

I made a thing! In the hope that I get myself, and perhaps others, inspired to write a bit. Because holy fook has this been a long, dry decade in the space of a springsummer.

She was the best of both worlds, badass and fine.

Marked, inked, stretched and mine
Shaped and honed by passing time
Between all that's happened,
And what's in store
Is where I'm at, aged 44.

There is nothing wrong with needing assistance
Asking for help now and then
Habits are formed with focus, persistence
And encouraging words from a friend And even those easily distracted
With patience can learn to acquaint
Their ass to the damn chair, exacted
There are benefits to having restraint(s). 😏 #aprilispoetrymonth

Day three had its distractions, so this will be day four
And the briefest interactions, have left me wanting more
Freedom from the habits, which no longer serve
To be brave enough to grab it, that which I deserve,
Freedom to express, without reservation
To not let fear repress, the breadth of my creation
And open myself up to things which might result in hurt
Better painful forward movement, than overcautious and inert.

There are places it seems nothing will grow
And spaces between things we used to know
Things feel empty aplenty
Like we're facing disaster
And yet, don't forget
To make room for laughter
I know the stress can leave one in doubt
And maybe even make hair fall out
Then again perhaps making space is effective
For a much needed shift in hairstyle perspective #aprilispoetrymonth
