Taking My Time Back

My challenge now is to take back my time.
Not from others, but from myself, for myself.

Taking time back from all the things I think I NEED to do, SHOULD do, and even sometimes HAVE to do.

And what about all of the toxic ways I give to myself? I give so much time to myself in inadequate and wrong ways.

Scrolling.

Worrying.

Concerning.

Distracting.

And what about the escaping?

All of this time, I don’t want. And what about the time I need?

 

Could I Give Myself Time Back?

Could I give myself time back? Time from all the things?

I think I could.

In a world where anything is possible.

In a world where ice cream flows, and rainbows grow.

Yes, I think I could. If I dared to be me.

If I dared to be me, I could take time back from me and give it to me.

I could use it to grow and create.

To be… If I dared… ME.

Yes, I think I could.

In a world where gnomes and fairies roam.

Yes, I think I could.

I could take back time from me and give it to me.

I could use it to swing from the trees, talk to the bees, and just be me.

Yes, I know I could.

In a world where the water and willows fall.

Yes.

I think I will.
