Awake

| The Owl |

          

           Owls remind me of animals that only come out at night. It  reminds me of people that only come out in the dark so they could not be seen in the light. Afraid of rubbing off as an attention seeker, center of attention and under the spotlight. Afraid of living in fear and influenced by what the world signifies as cool or in-trend or even stereotypical. Its about fearing we are not good enough for our way of living. Its about staying safe. But what we don't see is how beautiful we are even during the night. 

           Its about learning to be brave and strong. To embrace our flaws. You are the only person who is the best at being you. Its about shining in the dark and staying in the light. Its about learning to love and accept who we are. In the end, we will eventually meet people who will accept us for who we are. Even on our darkest days.

Love,
