THE NEXT CHAPTER HAS ARRIVED The time in my life to thrive, to rise, to heal, to excel, to move forward. It's finally time to release the thoughts which kept me caged. It's time to embrace who I have always been before my essence was shaped. It's time for all the brittle pieces to fall away. It's finally my turn to pour the love back into myself and realize the warmth and wonderment I have always possessed does not need to be kept hidden, but shared with the right people. It's time to open my mind and heart to the possibilities and feel the full spectrum of emotion without allowing anyone to drag me down to a place I climbed out of. It's time to welcome healing and allow the velocity of prior heartache to propel me toward infinity. It's time to leave behind the unnecessary, self-inflicted suffering. The next chapter is here. It's time to choose me.
