About time and healing

Take all the time you need, in darkness sprouts the seed.

your pen hovers above the page as you plan your escape from your cage

don't let fear be the author of this next tale of yours please enjoy the journey as transformation runs its course

and dont mind those who try to rush you, they can't stand to see a caterpillar fight

little do they know that's what allows them the strength for a first flight

it will be worth the wait, i promise boo

as long as you remember to take all the time you need

I have been frustrated about the time I have been soul searching.

I am tired of my own fear and anxiety.

I am tired of excuses.

And also, I feel like I know who I am and what I want.

I just have trouble seeing it materialize.

I see that sometimes I am afraid to become who I know I can be, to have the success I know I can have.

Because it has a cost. The old me will be dead.

The new life will come with lots of responsibilities and lots of decisions, possible mistakes, ...

So l sit in the in between.

Feeling the weight of my own judgement.

Feeling the eyes or expectations of those around me.

What if I fail? or what if I'm no longer the person that they know and love?

But I am certain that it takes as long as it should take.

It will be worth it.

A friend said: it's a time of sowing.

Don't rush to reap.

A farmer also doesn't rush to its land every day to check if there are sprouts. He knows the seed needs time, water, warmth, sunlight, the moon, ...

And then I find a way to stop my loud, inner critic from yelling at me. For some time. And I know: the transformation would be way quicker if! could shut that critic's mouth for a longer time. But everything that I learn now, is what I can teach others later.

So l allow myself time and don't rush the caterpillar.

The lesson is in the struggle.

Familiar?
