Self-Journey

By Sumaira Berry

Everyone is on their own private journey, with an entire world inside of them we will never fully come to know.

We can go through the same experience together, but that moment will mean something entirely different to each of us. As we weave in and out of each other's paths, I think the key is to love before we seek to understand.

People will surprise us in a million ways. Some ways will hurt us and some ways will heal us. Some ways will challenge us and some ways will change us. What if each person is just a teacher, a looking glass that mirrors to us the two wolves within? Without tension there would never be any growth. Conflict in nature is what creates islands, canyons and supernovas that birth new worlds.

So remember that when life breaks your heart, it is so love can flood through the cracks.

This is your life. You're allowed to change your mind. To change your heart. You're allowed to be a different person.

To wake up one day and not want to do the things you've been doing all your life. You're allowed to love who you want. To move on from the people who are not good to you. To let go of anyone without any kind of explanation.

Without any kind of regret. You're allowed to make mistakes. To learn from them. Or not to learn from them and experience everything all over again. You're allowed to forget your past if you want to. Or to stay in it but you must also understand that this is not how you will grow. You're allowed to change careers. To dress differently. To chase different dreams. To change locations, even if, at first, you're terrified to do so. You're allowed to dislike yourself but also allowed to change those same parts you don't see eye to eye with. To work on them until you're completely comfortable with who you are. This is your life. Make it count. Make your own validation. Your own path. Your own way of life. You are enough. And you are not broken.

You're a lot stronger than you want to believe. Now breathe.
