Happy New Years Eve! I am sure everyone can relate to the fact 2020 was a grueling year. While it did not go as planned, I am so thankful for the goddess that came out of this crazy year. Shoutout to the people in my life who helped me get through this crazy year (you know who you are). Cheers to surviving the hardest year yet!
The Uncomfort Zone
She anticipated and waited
Met with rejection and darkness
Holding on to the small amount of light dwelling inside her
She waited again
And again
Knowing it twas Gods timming
Depression, fear, battle scars
Quarantine, shutdown, breakdown
Hopeful but not too hopeful
The light came in
Enhanced by the small bit of hope she held
Darkness and light were omipresent
Battling against one another
The light won
She didn’t get everything hoped for
But she did get the prize of endurance
2020 was a test
Of resilience
Broken pieces were gathered
Seeds were sown
Roots were planted
Passion was found
Community was cultivated
Showers still came
She remained faithful
The God dwelling inside her
made a way
2020 had potential to break her
But it strengthened her
She cultivated something so dark into an alluring story of perseverance.
