Today will end and another day will come – I can’t bend time into softer motions all I can do is live.
SHELBY ENSIGNToday will end and another day will come – I can’t bend time into softer motions all I can do is live.
SHELBY ENSIGNOn the days that I drown deep in the rain, I must remember that it, too, will help me grow closer to the sun.
SHELBY ENSIGNThrough the haze, I am journeying. To the light, I am clinging.
SHELBY ENSIGNMaybe self-care is choosing to be your own kind of lovely.
SHELBY ENSIGNI acknowledge that struggling and failing are different; I am made stronger through my struggles.
SHELBY ENSIGNAnd when the sun smiles its brightest, I become a golden soul.
SHELBY ENSIGNEmbrace your own reality.
SHELBY ENSIGNAnd as the rain fell and the birds kept singing, I realized that freedom is a choice.
SHELBY ENSIGNDrowning in grey days rising up into blue, I will choose to love myself in all colors.
SHELBY ENSIGNThough thunder clouds hover tight like a cage, the sun never stops rising on the ones who chase healing.
SHELBY ENSIGNA note to all that yearns within me: every breath is a possibility.
SHELBY ENSIGNI must learn to separate my bad days from who I am – we are not the same.
SHELBY ENSIGNI step out, into the pouring rain. What am I if not alive?
SHELBY ENSIGNAnd although the strands of your soul feel weary today, your worth remains the same – you are graceful amidst pain.
SHELBY ENSIGNI am choosing to create space in my mind for peace.
SHELBY ENSIGNI am finding the courage to breathe as I am.
