Gentle with yourself because there is only so much beating your little heart can take.

Close your eyes and feel.
Feel every ounce of regret, remorse.
Adam Wilson
Feel every word that slipped from your lips.
Feel every action you should, or shouldnt have made.
Feel every unspoken sentence, every fear and doubt and hesitation that caused you to be too late.
Feel every mistake, every mess-up, every moment where you should have, could have, and didnt.
Feel it all and let it break you.
Let it tear you down.
Adam Wilson
Let it tire you until your bones ache.
Then let it go.
And thats okay.Thats okay.
Let yourself acknowledge that your misery is valid, but that you cant hold onto it forever.
And remind yourself of your worth.
Focus on all that you have done, and will do right.
Let your mind drift to better days, brighter times.
Gentle with yourself because there is only so much beating your little heart can take.
And if they cant just yet, still be gentlewith them, and more importantly with yourself.
Because this moment does not, and will not, define you.
Believe in better days.
Because they will come, even though youre buried right now.
Believe that you will shed this past like an exoskeleton, and grow new wings.
Believe that you are not a bad person.
And then become who you are capable of being.
And then, move forward.
Baby steps, because this isnt always easy.
Baby steps, because sometimes we cannot undo the pain weve pressed upon anothers soul.
Baby steps, until you forget.
Until this is just a piece of your past.
Until you’re able to look back and see how far youve come.
Until hope oozes through your pores and you feel the freedom of being forgiven.
