Giving, Random Thanks
gratitude
can be hard
to come by some days;
I’m not sure
if that makes me
more like you,
or less
melancholy
was the best
I could do today;
everyone around me
celebrated
their thanks
to what or who
I’m not quite sure
it is what you make it,
or is it?
I get detoured here
now and then
this year has been
so...
much
I’ve been educated
properly
at a cost
I never imagined;
tuition is outrageous
no matter
the alma mater;
thirty times a day,
I wonder if my degree
was worth the sacrifice
am I thankful enough
again, to who or what?
that lessons learned
will never be
good enough
to keep me from missing
all that I missed?
I don’t know,
if I’m being honest ~
but I have presence
and hope
that in the end
it will all be okay,
somehow
It’ll do.

Dear L,
You can have as many sh*tty thoughts and question your decision about your degree as you want. The fact remains you achieved a wonderful goal and no one can take it from you. Oh sure, you’ve hemorrhaged enough money to finance a small country to obtain said degree but you got it. And don’t forget 11/26 was just another Thursday with a title. If you were feeling melancholy you were in excellent company. You just had the nuts to share it. In solidarity, H🌷

Raw, heart on point, voice is calm measure of command, insight in tune, all in proportion of strength and depth. Speaks to me, to my vibration of being. 💖🎶🙏 Difficulty addressed honestly becomes strength. That is the blessing.

Such wisdom, thank you. It’s a blessing, indeed to be in a period of growth. Makes me think it’ll all be alright 💜.
