Evolve by Valerie Parente
You’re not the love of my life
You’re just a writing prompt
Someone to empathize
While I learn to grow up.
You haven’t wasted my time
You gave me a new start
Memories that will align
With the person I become.
No I haven’t left behind
The person that I was
And learning by your side
Is what helped me evolve.
You taught me what it’s like
To have respect for myself
And I finally feel alright
Without someone else.

The entire universe and its blessings are in the palm of my hand by Valerie Parente
The entire universe and its blessings are in the palm of my hand. I can feel the energy that makes up you and me and everything in between and I am in awe that I did not notice until now how interconnected we all are with the energy we spawned from. I still have longings but I feel so whole and complete like my longings long back for me. I feel that my blessings walk beside me even when they can’t be seen. I am not discouraged when things do not go my way, I am empowered. Every struggle is proof that I am worthy of more than I hoped to settle for and I am in awe and in love with the story the universe writes about me.
