I'm taking a break from myself
Learning to let go of expectations and timetables
I am exactly where I need to be
The harder you try to make space
The more you realize you're not in complete surrender
You're not focusing on your desires
When he chooses her
You have to chose yourself
Maybe surrender is something we never finish
Perhaps some of us are just slower to grow
We have to learn to extradite ourselves from our past
To realize "you owe no obligation to the person you were yesterday"
Realizing your path is in your own hands
That, if you want something, you must make it happen
There will be no more caterpillar stages of dreaming what you wish yourself to be
No more late night study sessions thinking "once I get to this point, then..."
There are no more "this points," comparison, or insecurity eating yourself away
The tears flow
Know when to move on
