full circle moment.

sometimes. 

we just want to 
SCREAM 
at the 
TOP OF OUR LUNGS...
everything about ANYTHING
 that we have ever endured.

every thought we have entertained. 
every emotion we have felt.
{and still feel} 
every wrong we have experienced -  and right we have decided...
not to mention every. single. moment.  our little souls have endured - 
regardless of right or wrong.
'cause it was necessary at the moment.

we "stuff" it all away.
like it never happened. 
we look away.
'cause ignoring is the only thing that saves us, temporarily.
we move forward, and try to forget....
however. that moment of truth comes around.
every. single. time.

eventually, as much as you fight it -  feelings just start to emerge.
...and even maybe START TO make sense.
THE BIG PICTURE becomes just a little more clear.
 ALL the stories connect. 
and MUCH TO YOUR SURPRISE - they are more in depth and entwined - than you could have EVER imagined.
'cause you had a tiny "whisper" to open up.
your story no longer is JUST YOURS.
kinda scary.
till you realize,
we are connected. 
fully.
by love. 
by similarities. 
by admiration. and understanding.
by what is to come, and by what has been.

so what is my point?

here you go.

let your love be driven by whispers.
let your similarities be vulnerable.
let your admiration run free...and your understanding be limitless....

and let what is to come be THAT MUCH SWEETER because of what HAS been.

do you really think you have come this far by chance?
nope.
YOU have come this far by PURPOSE.
own it.
embrace it.
use it.
'cause it is all yours for the taking.
there is NOTHING SWEETER in life than a full circle moment...
and the realization that it has arrived.
ENJOY.

how big are your BOOTS?!



Sometimes.
life wears BIG BOOTS.
i swear they are potentially size 26.
{that is big}
they fit snug and secure and know EXACTLY how to STOMP.
hard.
 RIGHT on top of your head....
or maybe even 
RIGHT IN FRONT of you so you fall into this abyss of a "boot print".

random.
but I KNOW 
but you can relate.
right?

you are just flawlessly meandering along.
and then WHAM.
without warning....everything FALLS APART.
case and point. 
BOOT PRINT #1.

so....
 you dig or climb your way out of the "HOLE" you had NO IDEA was coming....
it seems so completely foreign...
impossible to overcome. and just plain unfair. 

what you need to know is that WHILE you are being stomped on....
when things come at you from NO-WHERE - and take you DOWN
....hard.... 
YOU are also leaving YOUR MARK.

YOU have BOOTS of your own, baby.
your integrity.
your persistence.
your endurance.
your love.
your wit.
your EVERYTHING....
BIG HUGE BOOTS.
BIGGER than LIFE.
i promise.

lace em' up.
pull them on.


and don't let life get you down.
you are here to...
shine.
climb.
higher and higher...
and emerge.
consistently and persistently.

BIGGER than you have EVER BEEN.

YOU choose your "BOOTS"
so..
CHOOSE BIG.
&
fill em' up.
with style.
all your own.
make YOUR mark.
life belongs to YOU.
bigger than ever.
emerge.
forget the prints others think they can leave.
make your own.
THOSE are the ones that matter.
