past the façade
there are tones and textures
beneath the surface
each of us
everything is a
rhythm of time
a reflection of life
until now
it doesn’t have to be complex
look deeper
at what is there
you might be surprised

We all forget, sometimes,
to care for the one person
who shows up day after day.
In all the confusion we
overlook what matters.
All too often we get so
caught up in the actions and
emotions of those around us,
that we neglect to check in
with our self.
Try harder today to please
yourself. You deserve better
than what you have been
allowing. Be kind. You matter.

daily bromides
empty assertions
our thoughts
our curse
equality
injustice
we sleep
we wake
we give in
overwhelmed
what we tell ourselves
it makes no sense
the mind
will not slow

“Most of what we see in the world holds
the potential to inspire astonishment if
looked at from a less jaded perspective.
Train yourself to see the awe behind the
obvious. Look at the world from this
vantage point as often as possible.”
-Rick Rubin
What inspires you, what you find awesome, will differ from the way others see it.
That alone is, or should be, enough inspiration to look beyond the obvious.
Be astonished with your point of view; it is not evident to everybody.
Inspiration is personal.
