Don't Rush Through Life!

Thank you for always reading 🌷

I resigned from the job I started after changing careers in less than a year.
Mid-April.
I used up all my paid leave and
chose to do nothing for the entire month of May.

I will stop rushing to do things.
I listened honestly to the voices of my heart and body.

First, I need to heal my body.

They say your body is your greatest asset, and I truly realized that is the case.

The body is honest.
I even felt pain just trying to get up.
My back, my lower back, my neck.
The pain eased before I knew it.

My broken rib still hurts.
It hurts, but because I have known this pain,
I feel like I can take better care of myself.

This past month has been a month just for me.
Perhaps it was the first time I had a month that belonged to no one else.

I spent it just drifting.
I simply surrendered myself to the passing time.

One day ends, and a new day begins.

A few months ago,
I wanted tomorrow not to come
so badly.

Now, I am able to accept each new day.

I feel like I am healing little by little.
Something that was broken is mending, bit by bit.

I still can't always find what makes me 'me',
but I have started to see what I want to do.

I will try returning to the children once more.
At the end of May, I started moving again.
