No matter how you show up,
people will see you through
their lens - a lens shaped by
their wounds, their longings,
their tears. By the love they
were given or not given.
By the stories they've told
themselves - carefully pieced
together through years of
lived experiences.
We can't control how other people
see us - we can only choose
the freedom that comes
from no longer trying.
(Helen Marie)
