do over

If I could go back and do it all over again I would spend more time building myself up then knocking myself down.  I made it so much harder than it had to be.  Seeking ways to fit in instead of finding what truly moved me.  I would worry less about what other people thought and care more about what made my heart sing.  I would accept my mistakes and not travel deep into the depths of their dispart.  I would love myself more, speak to myself with kindness and compassion.  I would take time to see the love that was being extended to me.  I wouldn't push it away, but lean deeply into it.  

If I could back and do it all over again I would choose me first.  Before the boy, the party, then night of mischief.  I would show up only where I wanted and let my true light shine.  I would allow myself to sink into the darkness.  I would ask for help, and seek out guidance.  I would be so much kinder to myself.  Tend to my heart and lean deep in.  

Yes, it would be all about love if I could do it over again.
