There is a (small, but) certain lightness in my being. A little bounce in my walk. A little smile that plays at the corner of my mouth at almost all times of the day.
Something has changed.
I have shed a bit of my past and the weight I have carried for many years. It all seems so irrelevant today. It seems foolish to let something that happened years ago, or even decades ago to have a hold on who I am today. Or who I will be tomorrow.
Today, Something has changed.
So many unnecessary chains I still carry. I still struggle with my occasional bout of jealousy and/ or envy. I still struggle with my prejudices about people. I still struggle with my consideration of social equations in my world view. I still struggle with my perception of my capacities and limitations. I still struggle with my lethargy and procrastination. I still struggle with standing up for myself. I still struggle with saying No. I still struggle with my loneliness.
But, something has changed.
It might be just a petite something. But it is a good something. A happy something. A something that puts a smile on my face and a spring in my walk. It is from inside. A tiny flickering light consuming the darkness around it. Enlivening the whole place up one fragment at a time.
Something has surely changed.
