Rebirth
You don’t get to choose when to start over.
You don’t get to choose when you want to be reborn.
Rebirth comes for you on the day you are hiding.
Rebirth comes for you when you are deep asleep in your coziest cocoon.
The problem with your cocoon is just how small it is.
Grow even one inch,
and the walls you have built around yourself shatter.
You’re left with the putrefaction
of what once was…
and a new set of wings
of a bigger, grander, gleaming
and resplendent YOU.
Rebirth puts you on a boat to cross oceans.
Rebirth puts you in a car to say goodbye.
Rebirth makes you press send on the email kept eternally in drafts.
Rebirth causes you to look in the mirror and finally say
oh, hey there—HI.
You will never be ready.
But you are already perfect.
The only way is forward.
It’s time.
💫 Sending love, light, and hugs from,
Marisa
