As I Think Back Through Time

As I think back through time, I realize where I have been is not where I’m meant to be going. I can no longer be the fix-it-all glue you created me to be.

For so long I’ve had to walk on eggshells, for fear if I did the “wrong” thing, more trouble or headache would emerge, and it would be the end of it all.

My opinions and goals were placed on the backburner, to ensure I could always be your plan B. A reliable source to ensure things were saved before the crash. My future on hold in order to protect YOUR present day.

The past can no longer hold me back. MY present needs to focus on striving forward to build my own life and purpose in a way that will allow me to discover who I actually am. And be given the chance to thrive.

With eyes straight ahead, nothing can hold me back. This is my story now.
