I am cleaning my space

I am getting rid of that which no longer serves me

I have zipped up my ego, put its hood on and realized it keeps me from the heat of truths I wish to find

Perhaps the ego can keep someone else cozy and warm while they get through the chill oblivion

I sat on my childhood traumas and decided not to get rid of those, they remain part of my foundation, so I will gather the fabric of my accomplishments and upholster them

I slipped on my grief and decided that for now, it’s taught me all it’s needed to teach me, I thank it for the growth it has provided me, and if I see it in my closet again I’ll appreciate how it flows and twirls around me with beauty of that that I loved so much that I had a hard time letting go of

I gave things a dust and uncovered a frock of fear, they went everywhere, I let them run around like children, a happy disruption, tending to them, asking what they need from me, why they’re here, what I need to do to quiet them, turns out they just wanted to be outside set free. I gently and respectfully planted them and I’m expecting a full bloom next year that I’ll sew into happiness and love

I pulled out the happiness already in my closet and remembered all the times I wore it to milestones with family, to dinner with friends, I’m going to go ahead and keep that, it’s a staple, and I truly feel my best and most confident when I wear it

I have accents of love everywhere, but I still pulled out a box with love, I added more of it around me, added it to the window to brighten the light of a new day, I added some to the kitchen, to remind me of how well nourished I am, added some to my bookshelf for all the lessons, I’ve learned for the books of life I’ve read between it’s lines of, and then I gave it out, an infinite amount for the price of none, I gave it to the mother that’s been as great as mine, I gave it to the mother that hasn’t, I gave it to the people that seemed lost, to those that experienced the joy of being found, I gave it to those that shared my ideas, I gave it to those that didn’t.

The yard sale was a success, only problem was that I still had so much love to give, but luckily it doesn’t clutter, it actually cleans your space instead of dirtying it. So I went on because I’ll wear love forever and it’s never out of season.
