The Mountain Is You by Brianna Wiest

it is you didn’t feel good naturally, before you knew how
to start showing up and allowing your feelings. When you
still lived in the darkness, you had to suppress that and
project it onto other issues. No longer.
You are showing up as you are today and taking what’s
yours, not what belongs to some imaginary version of
yourself. Not what you think the world thinks you’re worthy
of. You, here, now.
That is the true healing.
In fact, the universe does not allow perfection. Without
breaks and gaps, there would be no growth. Nature depends
on imperfection. Fault lines make mountains, star implosions
become supernovas, and the death of one season creates
the rebirth of the next.
You are not here to live up to the exact expectation that
you’ve mustered up in your head. You are not here to do
everything precisely right and precisely on time. To do so
would require stripping your life of spontaneity, curiosity,
and awe.
WHAT LEAVES THE PATH IS
CLEARING THE PATH
There is nothing that you can do to win someone or something
that is not meant to be yours.
