Consciousness
Have you ever slipped in and out of consciousness? Not physically, or literally, but mentally, emotionally. Your soul was dormant inside your own body.
I have. Recently, I have been teetering back and forth between a state of consciousness and automation. I’m not sure if it’s the time of year, maybe finally healing, maybe a choice, but whatever it is, I feel like I am looking out without fear, without a push. Just gently, my eyes fluttered open. and I can feel again.
As I was getting my coffee this morning, one of the women behind the coffee bar whom I am friendly must have noticed something about me. albeit it would not take more than a stranger and some context clues to understand the emotions several people in my position are going through. Nonetheless, she said something that hit me. “Babygirl, you didn’t come this far to come this far.” And though the sentiment is passed around frequently, I needed to hear it. I had had my eyes shut lost in the motions, not acknowledging where I had been, and how I got here, today - not seeing what is standing right in front of me. I seemed to forget why I chose to wake up every day and keep going without knowing where the light was shining from. It was a sentiment I used frequently during my struggles.
It is moments like that that bring me back to my core. The quiet joy of a human moment, one that the other human might not even know the full weight of their words. but that’s kind of the fun part about life, you put these things out, hoping that maybe one day, just one day, it will come back to you.
i was so fucking sad when i was 14 and now when i fold my laundry or see a pool of moonlight on the floor of my bedroom i know that miracles exist. i see love in everything. love sees everything in me too

You’ve grown into someone who would have protected you as a child. And that is the most powerful move you made.
