| AFFIRMATIONS: (Say these out loud or to yourself several times throughout the day). I am worthy. Love is without conditions. It is respectful, mindful and sees all of life as sacred and acts in accordance. I trust what I think. I do not define myself by what others think. My self worth and value is intrinsic and not able to be altered. I get things accomplished in a timely manner. I continue to learn. I respect myself. |

| I wander, seemingly no where... but I am not lost. I know exactly where I am. This may not be where I want to be. but it does not matter. its where I'm trying to go. I wonder, seemingly about nothing... but I am not mindless. I know exactly what is going on. I know exactly who I am. This may not be who I want to be. but it does not matter. Its how I'm trying to grow. I slouch, seemingly with a great burden, but I do not carry the world I carry the weight of my sins I may not be as clean as I want to be but it does not matter I know I reap what I sew I stand, seemingly with great pride, but I am not vain I am just sure of myself I do not need your approval and you do not matter You're just blocking my flow I cry, these tears of frustration, but I do not give up This life tries to break me but it does not matter I'm learning, now I know I smile, the joy reaches my eyes, and it is not a mask I have people who love me and I, in turn, love myself so you do not matter you cannot make me feel low I stop, I look at the world, and my heart breaks for it saddens me to see it like this but it does not matter there are still sights that make me say "woah" I live, my family by me, I couldn't ask for anything better They inspire me to be the best me be the best example for my babies but they DO matter They've taught me not to be a docile doe I love, unconditionally, and sometimes people take advantage of me and it makes me jaded but they do not matter I will not linger in my woe I achieve, accomplish goals, chase dreams but sometimes I fall, fail, struggle sometimes I get angry but none of that will matter once I stop being my own greatest foe I need, just like everyone else, but I am not dependent I have wants, cravings, primal desires but they do not matter sometimes we just have to let them go And all of these complexities exist within us all Day by day we walk the paths shaped like roller coasters left, right, up, down, loop-de-loop and they do matter its us just trying to grow 12/06/09 Copyright: Michelle Dixon |
