I still have a long way to go..

I still have a long way to go.But I’m going and I know that counts for something. It’s been a long road, there’s not one mile that has been easy and I had to learn not to expect it to be.

I have been mindful about picking up my pieces along the way, taking a close look at each one before I decided to take it or leave it. And I have left a lot. The pieces of me worth keeping are far from perfect, some are still cracked,some are still healing,some are still filled with dark and that’s okay.

I search for my own light often,remind myself that I do have some,even though I can’t always see it hiding behind my dark. I still have a long way to go.

I’m still uncovering my own toxic traits, recognizing and unlearning them as I go. I still have a long way to go, but when I look up ahead, I see myself there, standing under my own light, Smiling. So I keep going. I can almost feel that smile on my face 🙂
