Yesterday, I did not know this:
I am more than the sum
of all my parts. I'm me.
I did not know how quickly
the days pass, one into another,
and how I'd yearn to be
back, reveling in the early days.
I didn't know my own strength,
my own endurance, my own speed.
I did not know I limit myself.
Yesterday, I was lost, map-less, hopeless.
I could not understand, acknowledge, internalize,
the twists and turns that lead
to Today. To a brighter me.
Yesterdays got me here; unscathed, wiser.
And today: tomorrow's yesterday, I am.
What does yesterday mean to you? Check out Melissa at Making Things Up and Six Word Fridays.
It has been great to watch from the outside, a teeny bit, your growth and changes and bravery over the last year or so.
ReplyDeleteI love your last line.
"Yesterdays got me here; unscathed, wiser."
ReplyDeleteSo much truth to that.
Yes! I took the same spin on my six-word post today. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI love the last two words! I wish that I could learn that I am more that the sum of my parts. I wish I could learn many of these lessons you have learned!
ReplyDeleteSo well written ~ lots of food for thought. The last two lines pack a good punch!
ReplyDeleteIt's always funny how we don't know what we don't know. At least until after we know it. I really like this post. Appreciating the path that got you here while still looking ahead.
ReplyDeleteI love this post.
ReplyDeleteSo much I only appreciate after the fact. And tomorrow I'll realize the same about today.
So pretty, Maria! Very thought-provoking.
ReplyDeletePerfect last line.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your post. Most of us don't realize our own strength until tomorrow :o) I'm glad you have found yours.
ReplyDeleteI really like the line - "I did not know I limit myself" - but the last line is a powerful affirmation.
