Pivotal

Life became true to me. For the first time it has a smell, taste, and touch. The wind blew a graceful stroke of assurance. Letting me know what was real. I now embrace the uncertainty of myself and my life. I see my pain as much more than suffering. I see it as a tool. A tool that has made a woman out of me. I no longer allow pain to control me. When in years past all I could do was lay down. Lay down and feel sorry for myself. Sit and ponder over how life had wronged me. The truth of the matter is that life never wronged me. Life had to teach me a lesson. It had to get my attention. Life needed me to see. To see what it means. What it was really about? Life was about acceptance. I had to see to accept. instead of blinding myself of what laid before me. It is pivotal moments like these that change you for the better. Pivotal moments bring forth forgiveness of all pain and most importantly forgiveness of self. Life taught me to embrace it for better or worse. So here I stand through the worse and for the better.
