I am enough for me.
SHELBY ENSIGNI am enough for me.
SHELBY ENSIGNIf hope is the shape of the sun, I wish always to stay where she shines.
SHELBY ENSIGNMaybe self-care is choosing to be your own kind of lovely.
SHELBY ENSIGNNature has become a part of me when I am lifeless, I go to her – she is life.
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 ENSIGNAnd as the sun smiles to bless this new day, I inhale life, and journey on.
SHELBY ENSIGNEmbrace your own reality.
SHELBY ENSIGNWill I ever rise above the shackles of my mundane reality? I know I could fly as high as dreams.
SHELBY ENSIGNI will breathe because I must, but I will smile because I’m living.
SHELBY ENSIGNThrough the haze, I am journeying. To the light, I am clinging.
SHELBY ENSIGNWildflowers need water, so I too must not chase away the rain.
SHELBY ENSIGNDrowning in grey days rising up into blue, I will choose to love myself in all colors.
SHELBY ENSIGNI acknowledge that struggling and failing are different; I am made stronger through my struggles.
SHELBY ENSIGNI am only confined by the walls I allow.
SHELBY ENSIGNThough I crave roots grown deep, the truth is I’m something of a wanderer.
SHELBY ENSIGNAnd as the rain fell and the birds kept singing, I realized that freedom is a choice.
