When did I get my wings

When Did I Get My Wings?

Dear Old Self,

Thoughts are wings. I always had wings, but they were heavy wings. Regardless of how hard I flapped them up and down, up and down, I was exhausted. I almost think that if I flapped harder and harder to get them to fly, it may have beat the wind out of me. I flapped them, but they didn't move. I wasn't sure why. Thoughts are wings, right?

So I decided to change my thoughts. Instead of thinking I was not capable, I was not worthy, I was not a winner, I was not winning, I was not happy, every thought I had was not a good thought. I decided to change my thoughts.

Although LIFE was happening around me, I was not what LIFE defined me of. I had to fight for life. Life to be free. So I thought, I am worthy, I am a winner, I am happy, I am successful, I am humble, I am healthy, I am wealthy, I am strong, I am a champion, I defy the odds, I set new standards,

It was time for me to step up. Then do you remember that one day, I flapped my wings up and down and I felt that cool breeze beneath my feet. I looked down and I was lifted up. Then I flapped higher, then I spoke out loud what I was thinking in my mind. Then I flew higher, and higher, and higher. Then I flew........

when I looked down, I was flying above my haters, bad situations, unhealthy friendships, bad relationships, nay sayers, negativity,

When I looked down it made me sad and I felt  me get back closer to the ground, I lifted my head up and I looked ahead and I went higher again

The bird of strength flew next to me, then prosperity, then wealth, then good health, then great friends. All of these different birds with different things added to me. Then I flew higher.....

Never knowing how low I was before...............

And one day she flew...........

And that is why we broke up............

Love,
A Diamond With Wings,
