I'm Not Where You Left Me.

Years ago, I knew a girl
Who made all the wrong
Choices.

All because, even though
Those choices didn't sit right
With her, all she ever wanted,
Was to make everyone else
Happy.

Even if it meant deteriorating 
Her own happiness.

What she needed, was for
Someone to make her happy.
To love her.

What she didn't realise, until
Many years later was, that someone,
Was herself. 

That self love, is the most important
Love of all.

One day, it hit her -
She has to prioritise
Herself.

That her own personal happiness,
Was more important that everyone
Else's put together.

She had to cut the apron
Strings, that were the people
Who she spent her whole
Life trying to please.

And when those people
Disapproved of her choice and every
Thing she has become,
She was okay with that.

More than okay actually,
She was...Happy.

A feeling that she had thought
She would never feel again.

She realised, that in that
Moment, she had finally
Made the right choice.   

 And just like that, she had
Opened a window...

…A window, that was inner peace
And tranquillity.

Oh, how she has grown.

She has finally bloomed
Into the vibrantly beautiful
Flower, she knew she is.

Who she has always been.

Beautiful.

Dear Diary, I've stopped self deprecating.  Everything is so clear to me now, It all makes sense! Why wasn't I able to see it before...
