Discovering

No one else has all the answers

Some things I need to work out for myself

Sometimes the only way to discover what I need

Is by trial and error

I wanted someone to give me the answers

To tell me if I’m ok or not

To tell me when I’ve done enough

That it’s ok to rest

To tell me what I need

To tell me what my feelings mean

To tell me that it’s ok to feel

What I really needed was to give myself permission to discover

To make mistakes and not be ashamed

To learn and not give up when I don’t get it right the first time

I needed to work out

When I’m tired

What to do, when to rest

What to share and who with

Give myself permission to take a break

To rest
