I wrote this poem carrying heavy grief in my heart and soul. Grief last a lifetime and in my deep sorrow, I write, I don't hide it away in the darkness, I shine light on it because it needs to be seen. I see your sorrow, too ❤️
-Eternal-
The eyes of heaven gaze down on wee
Beneath the starry sky
The whispers of the willow echos thy name
My heart releases a cry
I remember, I remember, I remember the love
Stained glass memory
Angel choir sings thereof
Painted images of past
Hast buried my mind unfree
Though dare not I paint over
But all is what connects mine to thee

When you’ve lived through pain, your mind can get stuck replaying old moments.
Old mistakes.
Old losses.
Old identities.
Depression often pulls you backward, convincing you that the past defines you — that what happened then is who you still are now.
But the past only has power when we keep feeding it.
When we carry yesterday’s wounds into today, we block ourselves from healing, from opportunity, from becoming someone new.
Let the past be a chapter, not a prison.
You deserve a life that isn’t decided by old pain, old stories, or old versions of you.
Today isn’t asking you to rewrite everything.
It’s simply asking you to show up.
To breathe.
To take one step forward — no matter how small.
Your future isn’t built from what happened yesterday.
It starts with what you choose right now.
What small choice will you make today that your future self will thank you for?

One tradition I love doing is getting a pumpkin in fall (real or fake) and adding things we are thankful for to it every day.
What would you add to the pumpkin if you could write something on it today?

When you’re struggling, it’s easy to look at how far you have to go — and it feels impossible. You start thinking about all the habits you need to build, all the pain you have to heal, all the changes you should make.
But recovery doesn’t happen all at once.
It happens one moment at a time.
One breath.
One small act of courage.
One tiny choice to keep going.No matter how long your journey seems, this moment — right now — is the only one that truly matters. And if you can take care of this moment, the rest will take care of itself.
👉 What’s one small step you can take right now to move forward?

There’s a strength that lives within each of us — quiet, unseen, and often discovered only through pain. The Warrior Inside of Me is a reflection on survival, healing, and reclaiming the power that life’s struggles tried to bury.
The Warrior Inside of Me
There’s a warrior inside of me.
She wasn’t born from glory, fame, or success — she was forged in pain, heartbreak, and survival. She rose from the ashes of everything I thought would destroy me. For years, I didn’t recognize her. I only saw the broken pieces — the exhaustion, the tears, the nights I wanted to give up. But the truth is, she was always there… quietly fighting battles no one could see.
Being a warrior doesn’t mean I never fall apart. It means I’ve learned how to pick myself back up — even when my hands are shaking. It means I’ve faced demons that live in my own mind, and I’m still standing. It means I’ve fought battles that others couldn’t understand and survived storms that tried to drown me.
The warrior inside of me has scars, but she’s not ashamed of them anymore. Those scars tell stories — of lessons learned, of resilience, of a strength I didn’t know I had. They remind me that I’ve already survived 100% of my worst days.
Sometimes she’s quiet — reflective — taking a moment to breathe before the next battle. Other times, she’s fierce — standing tall, unafraid to speak truth, unafraid to love herself through the chaos. She’s not perfect, but she’s real. She’s human.
There were times I doubted her — times I thought she was gone forever. Addiction tried to silence her. Mental illness tried to break her. Life’s pain tried to bury her. But somehow, she kept fighting. She whispered, “Not today satan.” And with every small victory, every moment of courage, she grew stronger.
The warrior inside of me is not who I became after I healed — she’s the reason I started healing in the first place. She is the voice that tells me I am enough, even when I don’t feel like it. She reminds me that strength isn’t about never breaking — it’s about continuing to rise, even when it hurts.
So today, I honor her.
I honor every version of myself that refused to give up.
I honor the woman who still stands, even when life feels too heavy.
The warrior inside of me may be tired, but she is unbreakable.
And if you’re reading this — I want you to know — you have that same warrior within you too.
A Reflection to You, My Reader
Your warrior might not always look strong. Some days, they may feel silent, bruised, or hidden beneath the weight of life. But they are there — waiting for you to remember who you are. Don’t be afraid to meet them again. Listen to their voice, even if it’s just a whisper.
You are more powerful than the pain that tried to define you.
You are not what broke you — you are what survived.
Take a moment today to honor the warrior inside of you.
Because healing isn’t about becoming someone new — it’s about remembering the strength that’s always been there.
