Wings of Worth

There are times in life that make you feel low to the ground. Life is beating you, stomping on you, and all you can do is slither away. You look up because you feel like you’re at the bottom, maybe something like a caterpillar.

You may have gone through darkness, and you may have gone through pain. You may not know where your next step is coming from. You may not feel worthy. But it’s the dirt, the nasty, damp things that are needed to build the cocoon. Contrary to popular opinion, it's okay to go into that darkness. Because in the darkness, you begin to think, you begin to find grace in the wounds.

Let the pain motivate you. I’m not telling you it’s going to be easy. I’m telling you it’s going to be worth it. Because right now, I can see your caterpillar season coming to an end. I can see you emerging with beautiful wings that you never knew you had. Strength you never saw before, and a version of you that you were meant to be. Forgive yourself, and listen when I tell you that you are worthy. You are leaving your caterpillar season. You are worth the wings, and right now, it’s time for you to fly. It’s time for you to soar.
