Aintcu a tawl glass-a-watah!

34/133


Aintchu a tawl glass-a-watah! is what I would say if I could get out my body and look at myself. 

I promise it’s not as crazy as it sounds. Try it. 

Close your eyes…

Imagine your subconscious mind was on the outside looking at you. 

Picture yourself on your best day.. looking your best self. What would you see if you didn’t know anything about the stranger (you) standing in front of you.

Would your perception change about yourself? Staring from the outside at your own frame and mannerisms. 

Would you fall in love with your smile…or the way your move your hands when you talk.

Would you be interested to look into your own eyes, if you didn’t know half the tragedy it had seen during your lifetime 

I bet I would say to me: 

Well, ain’t you a tall glass of water.!

Beautiful enough to quench my thirst 

My longing to behold such a sight.

I would say life must be good for such a pretty lady.

And you know what?

I would definitely be right!!

Truth is, we’re all walking towards something. It may be into glory or rags

But as long as the sun is still shining,

Be easy on yourself

You still can rise!

We all have a chance.

we’re all multifaceted stories on a journey of hope to a utopic end

We have tons of memories that decide our mannerisms and quirks

But every now and then, life offers a trigger that shoots us back into our coils and shells. 

We all have some form of trauma threatening to hurl forth daily like morning sickness 

Sometimes it does..

Seeping in our relationships and how we handle our frustrations 

Sometimes we have better academic intelligence than emotional

Other times we’re more artistic than we are rational.

Life is an eclectic journey

Filled with questions its not up to the task to answer.

So I often encourage myself and also beat myself down

I am my best lover and worst critic

Often times I hand over the power of praise to those outside this body

Just so i can hear it and label it as truth.

I’m telling you dear reader,

You are not ordinary nor extraordinary 

You’re both.

Good and bad

Water and fire 

Blood and bones

Existing within the vessels of one same heart

One body

One spirit

One soul.

Give yourself some credit for having come this far..

No matter how bad your tracks are.

 Everything you have experienced is a learning curve.

So come back into your body

And believe with your mind

Whether you’re looking from the outside or inside

From within or without

Damn!

Aintcu a tawl glass-a-watah.

Pure magic

Pure fire.

I know I am…
