Poem

Feelings change as the journey progresses but also comes back to rears it's head. How to navigate through the old feelings is the trick of resilience and gives birth to a warrior forged from fire. That creates a blanketed cover that attempts to be blended but ultimately one has to be oneself in to move forward and not worry about others thoughts on that person.

Poem

I am reminded that todays felt pain is simply the shadow of yesterday’s false truth. That real truth can be discovered only in presence, for reality itself is impermanent, the past is not real and the future is a fantasy. Amor Fati, or the love of one’s fate, keeps my soul on fire, free and joyful in the present, and an eternal source of optimism - for every moment in life is to be celebrated. I am reminded that I am stronger than I think I am over self and that true happiness is always the product of surrender to and love of the unknown.

Poem

I’ve risen and fallen many times before
Yet the glowing core within me is filled with rage
Fighting like a samurai, maintaining protection til I earn my respect
