Be Yourself, Release the Need To Be Anything Else

© pockett dessert, life’s blur

Simply be yourself

—
exactly
as you are
okay with what is here now
life’s residue, smudges, streaks, blurs
accepting the imperfect serves as a valuable guide in life.

Every year
you make a resolution
to
change yourself.
This year
make a resolution
to be yourself.

release

the constant pressure
to
improve! become a better version of you
the false narrative that implies you don’t measure up.

don’t fake it

tell your heart such lies
perceived flaws do not make you less
accept you are more than enough
not obligated to be anyone else.

embrace

all that you are
aware
of
your thoughts,
genuinely listening to your pain’s tears.

It’s
loving,
liberating,
empowering
to accept yourself as you are.
