purgatory-poetry:

I’ve been silent for so long

Hiding their skeletons in the coffin of my chest

out of Love.

Respect.

Melting my desires and humanity,

Candles burning in the sun humiliating my sanity

Stretching myself thin with time,

And reason

And quiet

And aching for warmth and nourishment

from a crypt in the form of a man.

My ancestors told me this is where women come to die.

To lay their broken selves and cracked souls.

In old abandoned hearts with weathered halls

of Lonely and Nothing.

Hospital beds just stained and cold.

We were to be Undressed. Unloved. And Undone.

-leaving behind remnants of smiles over broken spirits.

I learned Tombstones are just shortened love letters.

‪It’s a rebalancing time of creating new comfort zones and new boundaries. We are not the person we were yesterday, and what worked then, will not work now. Readjusting our physical world to match our new energetic upgrades. If it no longer resonates, let it go.‬

‪We have spent so much of 2018 in darkness doing deep inner healing work, it’s time to return to the light.‬

1. Remind yourself that everyone makes mistakes, does things wrongs, and has moments of regret. There are no perfect people out there. In that sense, you are just the same as everybody else.

2. Remind yourself that “that was then, and this is now”. You can’t turn back the clocks and change what you did, but you can be a different person in the future.

3. Allow yourself to experience and name the feelings you are struggling with (regret, guilt, shame, disappointment, embarrassment, sadness, etc.) – then make the decision to let those feelings go. In the end, it’s unhealthy to become attached to them.

4. Ask yourself what you can learn from the situation. What would you do differently if you found yourself in that situation again? How can it change the person you are now (so that you feel better about yourself)?

5. Recognise that failings and mistakes are part of the growth process. It’s inevitable that you’ll encounter obstacles, challenges and failures throughout life. Don’t let that stop you from really living life.

6. Remind yourself that “it was what you did, it’s not who you are.” Don’t allow any single event or experience to define you. You are more than – so don’t let that become your identity, or your destiny.

7. Give yourself the gift of a new day and a new start. Forgive yourself, let go of the past, and with confidence move on with your life.
