love is the key. use it.

passion is treasure, 

unfettered 

it's a creative force-

making babies or making art

(babies are a work of art)

unchecked passions 

turn into toxicity

losing sight of humanity, 

leading to all kinds 

of calamity

for which 

love is the remedy,

this 

is what i see.

love is the key.

use it.

I think I'm having a moment of synchronicity.

This essay I wrote on Medium in 2019 has been on my mind so I'm sharing it.

'Gift' compliments this poem well.

 

Fair warning: 

It's an inward journey for self reflection. 

Personal accountability is a key word. 

Personal growth is an ongoing process. 

One might assume I'm crafting myself off as the "perfect" mother with this essay. Far from. 

I am however brutally honest. 

I've done the work. 

It's a daily process. 

I've made a lot of mistakes.

I've also been blessed with a lot of grace.

Let's show more grace where we can to everyone especially ourselves.
