Waves: A Poetic Journey of Self-Discovery, Resilience, and Belonging

There’s a hunger in me —
Ever growing,
A fire —
Fierce and unstoppable,
Dreams —
Waiting to be built,
Ground —
I’m destined to leave,
And a whole wild world —
That I’m determined to see.
That… is the Me I will Be.

Steps

A step is sometimes just that — a step.
A necessary motion to move forward.
Yet, some steps feel steeper,
Heavier than others.
But no matter how high,
With enough momentum,
We can all climb.

When the step feels too great,
Remember:
You’ve built up strength,
You’ve learned to fly
— though you may not realize it yet.

Sometimes the steps are metaphors.
Before you leap,
Look around.
See who’s beside you —
It’s okay to lean on your support.

You were led to this moment
By everything before it.
And when you land —
You decide where to go next.

If you’re unhappy with where you’ve landed,
That’s not failure —
It’s your warm-up.
Plot a new course,
Step again — carefully, thoughtfully.

We all misstep.
We all stumble.
But every mistake is a lesson,
Not a legacy.

My Story

This is my story.
If you don’t belong in it,
If your vision is too small,
Step out.

But —
If you want to dream bigger,
To live fully,
Then stay.
Light your heart on fire.
Live with urgency —
But with grace.

If you ever need me,
I’ll come through for you.
But tell me —
Will you come through for me too?

Life Changes

Life changes.
That’s what it does.

No matter your age,
Let the pages of your story turn.
You’ll be amazed
At the narrative that unfolds.

One Day

Life felt unbearable —
Until one day…
There was you.
And suddenly,
I couldn’t get enough
Of this life.

Weaving Dreams

Live boldly.
Believe relentlessly.
Your dreams?
Yours to weave.

Most wear frowns —
As though gravity grips their hearts.
But it’s easier to smile
When your feet lift off the ground.

Find your people.
Believe in them.
Let them believe in you.
There’s no formula better than this.

Whatever It Takes

Whatever it takes —
Do it.
See your future —
Be in it.

I’ll never say never,
So why should you?

Being Too Aware

Awareness is a gift —
But a heavy one.
Emotions, unfiltered,
Can be hard to hold.

But I’m learning,
And growing,
And seeing clearer.
It’s up to me —
To make dreams
And reality
Collide.

Punctuality

I’m being all of me.
But nobody mentioned
That being whole
Comes with no guarantee
Of punctuality.

This Dark vs That Dark

This dark,
That dark —
It doesn’t matter.
You have a fire
Burning in your chest.

Why fear the dark
When you carry
Your own light?

Whatever You Are

Whatever you are —
For those you love,
Be that.

Waves

Whatever happens,
Wherever I go,
I will always
Find my way back to you.

Because that’s what waves do.

We are the ocean —
The wind pushes,
We rise in peaks,
We fall in troughs.

Even when waves lose sight of each other,
They don’t mourn.
Because no wave is ever alone —
They are all part of the sea,
Their eternal home.

Even when they crash,
Even when they break,
The ocean holds them,
Always.

Your Truth

You are more
Than you realize.

So choose your truth,
Not the demands
Others impose on you.

✅ Moral of the Story

Life is a series of waves — rising, falling, breaking, reforming — but you are never alone. With courage, authenticity, and love, you can navigate the darkest seas and always find your way back to who you truly are.
