Becoming A Better Version of Myself

April 20, 2014
By Anonymous

I try to figure out my life,
each and every part of it,
but I only find bits and pieces
that I like
and That I Love.
As time goes by,
I want to find even more,
of something interesting,
about my life.
Still,
I do look forward to tomorrow,
and everything that it may bring,
for I bet something surprising will appear.
I am excited for
what is to come,
the life that I see at the turn of this road.
The life that I’ve always wanted,
seems so close
as if I can touch it,
as if I can imagine it.
All I have ever wanted was to feel like
I was enough,
Like I was accepted for I who I am –
A shy person yet,
someone who knows her own mind,
and is listened to with compassion,
and respect.
To have this feeling now,
excites me for what is to come in the future.
I do believe,
that I will succeed,
as the person I am,
Today.

It's unbelievable how much i can relate to this.. There's so much left out there to experience and appreciate and the world is so large. Sometimes it's hard to think about all we've already done because we stay focused on all we aspire to do in the future and what that future holds for us. Although I don't know you personally, I, also, do believe that you will succeed as the person you are today. Best of luck to you, your truly insightful words, and the mark you make on this Earth.
