Mostly Just You

We hear all the time how horrible the world is. 
"Going to hell in a hand basket" comes to mind often.
It's so scary, with terrifying terrorists, medicated massichists, petrifying politics, victimizing violence. 
The weather is out of hand, the earth is purging our selfish selves. 
We have no control, so out of control...
So much terror, fear, anxiety, depression, suicide, homocide, distortion and exploitation.
Glued to screens that we hold in our hands we drink it all in and ask...
Am I Ok?

And yet...
I find we are. We don't know that we are, society and media will insist that we aren't.

The web of perception is slowly bending. 
Can you feel it?
Maybe it begins by turning off the media feed. It won't do you any good to know that people are still dying. The information you're getting is filled with buzz words that maybe you should hear a little less often.
Maybe you tell yourself that everything will be okay, and after a little while, you believe it.
Maybe you find your voice, your art, your talent that only you know exists. You take it out, brush it off and begin to allow it to blossom.
Who knows...
But whatever it is that you decide to do to change the crippling fear that is overwhelming your every decision and thought, I promise you, it is the right thing.
Because fear only needs a tiny toe hold in order to consume your every point of view.

Once you do,
The world slowly transforms before your very eyes.
Miracles begin to happen and angels dance on your fingertips.
Laughter comes easier, no force necessary.
You are free to be silly without embarrassment.
Your are free to experience your life in all the glorious ways it was meant to be experienced.
When a midnight text comes in with 3 little words...
Mostly just you.
That is enough to make you smile and know you are safe and cherished.
I know, the world will judge. They will assume and bash and kick to keep you down where they think you belong.
But it's ok my friend, I give you my word,
In a little while, it won't matter.
You are free to be your truest self, because you matter in this world at this time in the place you are, as you are.
The moment you are free to believe that, all the things of the world can't scare you any more.
And who has the power to make that happen?
Mostly just you.
