My Inner Circle

Three Things Challenge #M690 | pensitivity101

Do surround yourself with good people in your life.

It can take years to amass this inner circle, but believe me it’s worth it.

Make them the centre of your universe.

My people come from the various outskirts

Of my life.

Work, school, growing up, even swimming lessons.

They know me well and I can trust them and they can trust me.

It’s good to have strong people in your life that will tell you the truth.

I keep you honest and they keep you at your best.

Especially when you’re a writer… 😉

Air

Anthony2 Comments

Become the wind

Moving and changing everything with a burst of energy

Flowing effortlessly with the breeze

Trees welcomely wave their tendrils

Floating lighter than air

Taking flight high above the earth

Warm updrafts lifting off

A gentle gust among a gale

Nothing is ever truly lost…

Rebuilding

Anthony2 Comments

From the deepest depths of my soul there is a single small light.

This is the beginning, a long road to make it grow from an ember to a fierce blaze.

Tread lightly and cry as much as you can.

Your heart is rebooting, bare with the pain the burning and the radiating tingles.

I swear it’s going to be better than alright faster than you think.

You face your pain you invite it you bask as swim in it.

This processes and heals you and fast it’s just very hard and very intense.

You’re doing it, I don’t know but this is a rebirth. Hang on and keep going!

Alone in the universe.

Starlight has gone out.

Coldness grips at the soul.

Aimlessly floating, going nowhere.

All heavenly bodies disappear.

No moons no comets, all is still.

Silence extends a cold hand concealed by darkness.

Tears drift into the expanse.

Gentle water sprays in all directions.

Cry’s sighs silenced by the vacuum of space.

We have fire imparted in the depths of our soul that refuses to go out.

Powerful and persistent it’s fed by our hearts and unique love that shaped us.

Its presence leaves us with a soft blanket of reassurance like a mother’s hug.

The drive we have when facing the utmost of challenges comes from there.

That last ounce of energy we beg for to defy the impossible comes from there.

Moments where we are stretched to the edge of our frail minds and bodies it’s there.

The sadness when our hearts break and throughout our rebuilds, it’s there.

All triumphs and tragedies it shares the heaviest burdens never fading out for even a moment.

Sparking the best in us and pushing us to want better for ourselves and those around us.

Share that fire, spark the flame in others and watch their eyes change forever.

Know you’re miniaturized starlight never dimming despite the darkness.

No matter the lesson, look inside, and see the burning flame beckoning you onward forward…

Actualization

Anthony3 Comments

Self can only be achieved by acceptance

Acceptance can only be achieved through peace

Peace can only achieved through love

Love can only be achieved through trust

Trust can only be achieved through honesty

Honesty can only be achieved through bravery

Bravery can only be achieved through knowing

Knowing can only be achieved through knowledge

Knowledge can not not be achieved through mistakes

Mistakes can only be achieved through learning

Learning can only be achieved through bettering

Bettering can only be through improvement

Improvement never ends until we do and even then it continues on…

Empathy

AnthonyLeave a comment

Feeling is the only way to live

Denying pain builds up a flooding dam

Until we all scream at once

Inside deep where it cannot be heard

Vulnerability is strength not weakness

We are never really alone

Every living thing is connected

Life force unified with a golden thread

Everything in view passes through the heart

Purity encompasses all emotion

Warmth staves off the coldness of fear…
