phantoms fleeting guise

"Ephemeral Echo"

In choosing herself, she chose to live. She chose to embrace the messiness of life, to accept that it would never be perfect, but that it didn't need to be. She understood now that happiness wasn't something to be chased or achieved; it was something to be found in the quiet moments, in the acceptance of herself, flaws and all.

And so, as she stood at the edge of her once-terrifying ocean, she looked out at the horizon with new eyes. The world was still vast, still full of challenges, but it no longer felt like an enemy. It was simply life, unfolding moment by moment. She had found her peace, not in the absence of struggles, but in the strength to face them with a heart that was finally her own.

For you !:)

Life doesn't always follow the path we've planned. When the road ahead seems rough, and nothing aligns with your expectations, don't be too hard on yourself. Take a step back, breathe, and allow yourself a moment of understanding. Don't force the river to bend to your will; instead, flow with its currents. Be patient, for time is a gentle healer. It promises that as each moment passes, wounds will mend, and clarity will come.

Don't be too rigid in your pursuits, nor too lost in the clouds of imagination. Ground yourself in the reality of now, yet keep your dreams alive. Know that you are capable, deserving, and strong. The harshness of reality isn't a reflection of your worth. Your voice matters, your thoughts carry weight. Don't let the judgments of others, or even your own self-doubt, diminish your light.

Remember, you have the potential to overcome, to rise above the challenges. Don't be consumed by regrets or paralyzed by worries of what's to come. Let the future unfold as it may, but live fully in the present. Trust in your journey, and in the truth that you deserve everything good this world has to offer. Choose to believe in yourself, to cherish the moment, and to embrace the flow of life with grace and courage.

Poem:

In the tides of time, I found my way,
Through storms that threatened night and day.
The world once bright, now shadowed, dim,
Yet I refused to let hope grow slim.

The river's course, though wild and free,
Is not always where we wish to be.
But in its flow, I learned to trust,
That even in the dust, there's lustre just.

I let go of the weight of the past,
And let the present hold me fast.
For in each moment, life is born,
And with each breath, the soul is worn.

No longer bound by fears or fate,
I choose to love, not hesitate.
To live in truth, to embrace the real,
And in that choice, my heart can heal.

The future's veil may yet be drawn,
But I will face each coming dawn.
With peace in mind and strength in hand,
I'll carve my path upon the sand.

For I am more than fleeting dreams,
I am the voice that softly screams-
I am the calm, the storm, the sea,
I am enough, I am free.
