Inward (The Inward Trilogy)

by Yung Pueblo

i spent so much time creating versions of myself that were far from the truth, characters i would perform depending on who was around

i kept running away from my darkness until i understood that in it i would find my freedom

it is not love if all they want from you is to fulfill their expectations

make sure the walls you build to protect yourself do not become a prison

do not let a cloudy mind trick you into doing things you are done with

reminder: you can love people and simultaneously not allow them to harm you

a real sign of progress is when we no longer punish ourselves for our imperfections

progress is being aware when there is a storm happening inside of you and remaining calm as it passes by
