Those moments we are given a chance to rise

and we choose to fall

Those moments. You know the ones.

You want to decide out of love for yourself. After all, you have been on the journey of self-love and self-acceptance for years.

Yet I sometimes wonder, what is it all for?

Have I arrived, or am I back at the beginning.

Was it worth it? How do I even know if I am doing it right?

I can look back at my life and pinpoint the exact moment that I wanted to make decision A, and I chose B.

These moments have been defining moments in my life, and not in a good way. They were the selfish moments.

The moments where I selfishly kept someone in my life for too long, knowing that I would eventually suffer heartbreak, but only because they were hurting, not I.

Feelings severed the moment I knew I had to make a decision and selfishly chose not to honor my higher self.

I did not have to answer the defining moments that the universe asked me, “are you willing to step into yourself” I did not have to answer as she knew by the decision I made it was a resounding no.
