Part of Me Journal: Growth and Experiences

By M. Henderson

It was a time in my life when even though the support was there, I was still at the lowest point! I felt like I had the world on my shoulders and anything I tried to do got batted down. I became my own best friend and kept everything to myself, which I consumed a lot! I held on to a lot, thinking that was right but wasn't healthy. Because holding on to my past wasn't allowing me to grow! I learned I could never properly move forward if my past isn't complete. I knew I needed some type of closure within, so I used writing as a way to escape. And that you will see as you turn the pages of my growth and experiences!

Mistakes are known as a way of a lesson, and a lesson is a way of life!

Long Overdue

I daydream a lot. Stuck in the moment, I guess, just needing all things to work together for my good! But I can't decide if you a want or a need or even both; how can I reach one to the other? Or maybe I have if my need has become my want! I feel like I can stand tall with things in that order, but do you see me? I'm right here, reaching through every image I pictured, grabbing to pull you in, which is success, and I'm long overdue!

A Dreamer

Status that be, I just hope it's right when she thinks of me.

A dreamer, but I know what I've seen. Self-employed with a concussion, but the heart does function; acceptance of a true friend within!

Love flows through the wind, giving you what I feel through this pen. She's my friend, a dreamer just like me, compelled to what she sees. Hoping what she'd seen was me. Can two people
