SUNSHINE AURA – self-esteem. self-love. self-actualization. 

Sometimes I feel behind — like I should be at this milestone already

Or have this much money in my bank account

Or have a giant rock on my finger and a bun in the oven —

Like I should already have my whole entire life figured out.

But then I remember all those years I feel I lost —

The ones spent wishing I was anywhere else

The ones full of fights and screaming and sleepless nights

The ones worrying over a future I feared wouldn’t be possible

When I didn’t have space in my heart or mind for my current desires.

I try and give myself grace and admit I am a little behind.

I try and remind myself I have valid reasons to be where I am.

I try and remind myself that I am right where I am meant to be.
