There are times

when life or love feels

burdensome and suffocating.

Give yourself permission to

step back and reflect.

Give yourself permission to

find the value and worth you hold.

Take that step back

before you return or

move forward.

Remember you are worth it.

Reflections | Poem | Linda J Wolff

Something, I sometimes forget is that I am allowed to want solace of my own. I forget that it’s ok to step away from those things or people who make me feel uncomfortable. Those people who don’t understand me as an individual. Nobody gets me, but me, I know that.

I’ve lived with my mistakes, I lived with the joys and heartache and I know when it’s time for me to be selfish and want true self time. Do you?
