Bright Spark

Teddy.15

 

 

Today I lightened my life's load
 and I did something so very courageous 

for once I thought of myself 
and now 
I will return to who I was
and not to who I would have become
under a moon of hypocrisy 

and who knows?
I might even get a few pleasant surprises 
along the way?

well, when one takes a leap into the unknown
the unknown could quite possibly turn out

to be the best friend you ever had.

    The unknown holds many surprises as well as expectations and this is a good write about looking at it from the positive side

      My dear sorrenbarret I gave notice in my job today, I have been bullied for 3 years by one woman and instead of becoming venemous like her I decided to do something better, I am a lady after all. Thank you my dear friend, not much else can be ugly this year for me surely 😂 hey I'm waiting for my spark! Onwards and upwards I say 💜

        Hi Shirley, you have to put yourself first in these situations. Onwards and upwards. All the best in your new job, I hope everything works out OK. I think the woman who has been bullying you has gotten off lightly though. I'm sure she'll get her comeuppance eventually.

          Hey Syd, I have no job after two weeks but at least I won't have all the stress either. 🌹 Thank you dear friend.

          Teddy, this feels deeply freeing and quietly triumphant. The poem carries that difficult but necessary moment where someone finally chooses themselves over the version of themselves others were shaping. There’s courage and relief woven together beautifully here, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

            My dear Tristan, you my friend are my rock. Yes it's always hard to choose oneself I'm selfless but there comes a time when we say enough is enough. Thank you my dear friend. 🌹

            • Tristan Robert Lange

              Awww! You rock Teddy. The feeling is mutual for sure. And amen to that. For sure, there is a time enough becomes enough. Indeed. You are most welcome, my dear friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

                Sometimes its just got to be about yourself.
                Lighten the load and set yourself free.
