survival

"she knew how to love now and how to let go. Whatever came next, she would survive it, too."
I've been thinking for a while, healing, trying...
I have been loving the wrong way, I have been loving from survival.
how I showed up,
how I gave,
how I clung,
how I tried
how I obsessed.
It's all rooted in the fear of being left behind, just abandoned.
Trying to be enough.
Trying to matter.
The truth is? The survival version... that's not me. I don't want it to be. Survival isn't…real love.
So I sit here and ask myself, Who am I?
I'm soft.
I am genuine.
I care deeply.
I'm direct.
I don't play games.
I'm not silent when it comes to feelings.
I speak up and I show it.
I'm rooted & I'm real.
No, I'm not perfect.
Still flawed.
Always healing.
Fluent in my own damn emotions.
I feel my shit.
I name it.
I give it space to breathe, and I keep going.
I'm not stuck in it.
I'm aware.
I don't run away anymore.
I don't fake peace or happiness.
That's how I'm different today.
Why am I the way I am?
This is it!
I have been loving from fear, which isn't love!!!
It's not surviving through love anymore.
I'm living in it.
