Dedicated Dance 🕺️

Dedicated to the dance of uplifting my frequency in fandom for the spirits who came before me. They lifted me higher into a life that never needed money, that never desired worldly “valuables”. I danced to the beat of my own drum in what mattered most to me; love, family, passion, creation, purity, integrity, honesty, authenticity. I became all of these with precision, through painful endings, with prayers sent above. Sent through the wire of my soul tie with the connection I have with our Creator. Created to co author, to co create, to spread light through love and forgiveness. They tried to break my heart, they tried to burn down my name with their own projections of dirt they did in the dark. I walked away from all of it because I found the truth in myself, I never needed to be validated by anyone outside of me. I never needed to be accepted into a world that could never hold my spirit. I am too big, I am too boundless, I am too free to be confined to the system of fear. I broke free from fear, I busted through the walls of illusion that I needed to be like anyone else. All I ever needed was to become the child inside, the part of me that wanted to grow up too fast. Now that I’m all grown up all I care to be is a kid again. To live through the eyes of my childhood self. To see the little things that made me move through life with unlimited possibilities. The little boy who just wanted to be loved by his mother, who had prayer time with his grandmas, who spent his days at the pool, in the sun, playing catch with grandpas. The one little kid who just wanted to run free, who danced in the sand of his souls shores. I became him again through all of this, by healing the wounds of his past. By going through the same battles he endured as a child. This was a journey back to my true self. To live like a child again, to get dirty in the mud, to come home with bruises, and scars. This time they looked a little different; internal. I stopped hiding the vulnerabilities he felt like he needed to put on the back burners to grow up. They told us we needed to grow up; they lied. We needed to be more like our child like self than ever before. In there, deep within our spirits lies that part of ourselves that’s dying to be set free, that just wants to be seen. That just wants to be loved, that just wants to be held tight. Never let go of that version of yourself, let him or her come out to play again, go let loose on a world that wants you to “grow up”. Instead, fly free and believe. In yourself, in that part of you that needed to just be understood. I understand you, I see you, I feel the hardships of life that have burdened you into balling up and sinking into the depression of wondering will things ever change. I’m living proof that YOU can change them, you can overcome every obstacle that you placed inside of yourselves. You masked the fragments of yourself that someone else shattered to play pretend. But you don’t have to pretend anymore, you can be who you always wanted to be. You can look in the mirror and be proud of who you’ve become. You can break the glass and jump through the portal to immortality. It lies within you, within your soul. It’s the artist within, it’s the creator who just wants to paint a picture. Paint the version of yourself you always wanted to see. Then let no ones opinion of it matter, let yourself be the ultimate judge and be honest with the inner truth you represented to your own world; not the world that tried to judge you for creating, because they were too scared to. You don’t owe anyone anything, you owe yourself everything. Let the kid within shine again, I want to see all of your lights glow like the street lights in the night when mom called out for us to come home again. Come home; to yourself.

With lightness,
