Just because it’s real
doesn’t mean it’s right.
Not every truth
needs a sharp edge.
Because kindness grows
from love.
-Today’s post. Have a good one 😊
I’ve seen this quote before and I think the idea of Glimmers is so cool. I hope you find some glimmers today.
My thoughts today.
Some days, healing looks less like rising
and more like refusing to disappear.
There are mornings when the heart wakes slowly,
still carrying pieces of yesterday.
Not every battle announces itself.
Some arrive quietly,
wearing ordinary hours.
Running.
I spent years trying to outrun myself.
Racing, panting, hiding.
Taking the back roads,
creating hollow shadows.
Grasping at survival.
Moving fast enough
that the ghosts
couldn’t quite catch me.
But what I didn’t know
was they were wearing my face.
And sooner or later
every road ended
with me.
Today’s post.
Those that walked before us were not heroes.
Just people trying to survive.
Some broke, healed, or did a bit of both.
They carried grief.
Made mistakes.
Loved imperfectly.
Still, they kept going.
Maybe that is the real inheritance.
Not perfection.
Here is a little quote for the end of the week featuring my cat Willow. Have a great restful weekend. 😀

Softer than my usual edgy writing here’s today’s poem. I hope you find your shelter when you need it.
I’m constantly amazed at the strength that people carry. The trials that they overcome. So, here’s a poem to honour the warriors. The entire poem is on mandyricks.com I’d love it if you dropped by.
