Family, Friendships and Love Relationships in Six Words
Family, friendships and love relationships deliver love, heartbreak, happiness, sorrow, conflict and understanding. If I reflect on the past, sometimes I understand the meaning behind my struggles and challenges I face today, knowing those relationships form a part of who I am, but do not define me.
If I embrace the present, I possess the choice to make a positive change or slip back and trigger the anxiety of yesterday by reliving it along with any guilt, shame or anger I experienced during those moments or relationships. Most days I make the brighter choice; the anxiety doesn’t disappear but my perspective shifts and gives me hope. Six words tell my truth.
Opening space within myself for love.
Change initiates from self, not others.
Peace finds way through common ground.

Reconnecting without judgment of past wrongdoings.
Forgiving self and others for failing.
Light at end of the tunnel.

Reuniting families brings hope to soul.
Relationships blossom when our hearts connect.
Holding hands together as a unity.
