I couldn’t see what was real, until time had washed away everything else.

As I was looking out the window watching the rain, I caught a glimpse of myself in the side mirror. The rain dripping out the window makes it a little bit difficult for me to see my reflection fully. But…I like what ever little bit I am seeing. As I immersed myself in my surroundings, I find myself relaxing and whatever negative feelings that are consuming me, being washed away.

Acceptance washes away from the soul the pain of everyday life.

I will no longer allow myself to be bothered by things that I can’t control. I will no longer worry about people not seeing my worth. Nor my love being reciprocated. I will no longer take away my time so I can spend it on someone else. I am important and so is my time. I deserve as much love, as much time, as much understanding, as much affection and as much support as I give to everyone. I will no longer allow myself to be a victim of my own expectation of others. I’ve come to realize that not everyone will be as good to you as you are to them. And that’s life. Reality looking you in the eyes.

Washed away.
