I Made it So

If only you knew dear one,
the power within you.
If only you knew that 
the magic of stardust is woven into your fibres.
If only you knew dear one,
the power of creation that runs through your veins.
You were created in His image, it is your birthright.
Unique, beautiful, irreplaceable you.

When will you take credit?
When will you realize that your life has happened,
your experiences have been such, because
you made it so.
The friends you hold dear?
The children you’ve raised?
Those great loves you cherish?
Those successes that make your heart burst?
Those challenges you conquered?
That growth? That wisdom?
You made it so.

Similarly my love,
Those times you sat on their backburner?
Those times you choked and left it unsaid?
Those times you felt unnoticed, unseen and uncomfortable?
Those times you felt excluded or overlooked?
Those times of failure and regret?
Those moments that broke your heart?
You made it so.

You stood in your greatness or you nurtured your smallness.
You made it so.

Sexy, fun, easy?
I made it so.
Crazy, clingy, hard?
I made it so.
Loving, kind, accepting?
Judgey, shameful, fearful?
I made it so.
Meaningful, precious, valued?
Beautiful, loving, safe?
Superficial, fleeting, false? 
I made it so.

Life isn’t happening to us, we are creating life.
Of course we cannot control everything,
but there is great power in the way we choose to live and show up in this world. 
Every.
Damn.
Day.
Pivot. Persevere. Pursue. Pray.
There is power in the way we choose to love, express ourselves, claim what is ours and accept what is not.
There is power in the way we alchemize the missteps of our past, and these terrible worldly atrocities.
Nothing is perfect.
It can all make us or break us.
We can’t always choose our outsides, but we can heal our insides.
We can make it so.

With what energy can we meet each other with?
From what source do we start each day?
Where we start from impacts where we end up.
So live dear one.
Find you.
Be you.
Live you, with love.
I know you will make it so. <3
