Thriving and learning my line. The line between grace, the line between peace. Who can be let in and who can wait across the line. The line across my heart, once a wall now a vase. You can see through, can you truly see my face? A well. Deeper and deeper, to the water we go. What is life without being thrown? Into fear, learning about my wounds. The courage to explore them, to be curious. I am learning to breathe, finding grace and peace with more and more ease.

A year of giving and receiving. Discernment between when to give and when to receive. When to laugh and when to cry. I learned this year how to do both at the same time. Taking myself less seriously and letting go of thoughts with a lot more release. I fell in love and I learned the Truth. Truth with a capital T because love can make you feel free. I learned about home and what it feels like to feel safe in my body. I’ve looked for others to regulate the way I feel, I am learning to do this myself now and it feels so real. Allowing others to help me with this and using my voice. It’s taken courage to show up to this place. A me that I like, a me that I love. Parts of me that want to be seen, to be heard, to be loved. All starting with me. I learned how to breathe and lean into joy. Presence and hope, my guiding light. The road still gets dark and I lean into peace - thank you to the ones who walk beside me, helping hold the light. The ones before me and after me, community. It is not done alone, it is done by walking through.
