Unbecoming To Become

You are not meant to be a prodigy of everything

Release that bondage of expectations

That chain of perfection

~

For it’s been tying you down

It’s been limiting your actions

It’s been putting you in a box

And latched you with heavy locks

~

For every day, we have a lesson to learn

A realization to reap

A chance to change

A hope for healing

And growth for greatness

~

There are areas in your life that you’re lacking

And you need others to fill that

Just as you also do to theirs

With or without you knowing it

You, being imperfect is what makes the perfect you

~

Your scars make you beautiful

Your failures strengthen you

Your tears give you courage

Your downs push you up

~

Because the truth is, we are all work in progress

We are like clay, being molded every day

Like a pencil, being sharpened in every way

For the wisdom of growth

Can come from unbecoming

From leaving some baggage that wears us down

And from widening our horizons to a new adventure

~

If you’re in your 30s and still unsure of what to do in your life

It’s okay, you’ll soon figure it out.

No pressure, just be you.

~

If you’re in a job that maybe you don’t like

It’s okay, as long as it pays the bills for now

While you slowly craft your way to a job that you’re passionate about

~

If you’re in a state of being lost

It’s okay, be kind to yourself and face the day

You’re stronger and wiser than yesterday

~

You don’t have to do it all today

There is tomorrow

And every new day welcomes rays of hope

Hang in there, my friend ❤️
