You should never feel bad about wanting to change or re-shape yourself into the person you want to be. Just because people have an old image of you in their minds, doesn’t mean it’s your responsibility to maintain that. Saying things like “what will they think of me?” will only place fear in your heart and paralyze you from reaching your greatest potential. You deserve to meet the highest version of youself during this lifetime. You can out grow, re-new, evolve as much as you desire. There’s so many layers to us, unravel and explore all of you.

lifeinpoetry:

if I’ve failed,
through artifice or image,
in conjure and by light,
               let me apologize.

       I only wanted to chase
           the end of day

                to the hem of night
                and sit there
                among the new stars
                in a body of spun grass
                   until language
                   abandons me

                and I turn back,
                reluctant and confused,
                    to life.

— Gwen Benaway, from day/break
