No approval needed..

I don’t need
To be understood,
Outside of myself,
Only I need to understand myself,
Expressing my truth,
Living my life,
As it is aligning for me,
Every single day…
When someone misunderstands me,
It is only reflecting their understanding.
When someone understands me,
It is only reflecting their understanding,
By resonance of their experience,
Through their filters…
We don’t have to be understood
By everyone, for us to feel our truths,
And experiences are validated…
If you understand me,
We have common ground…
If you don’t understand me,
My life, my truth, my experiences,
Are for me to live, love, learn, get..
No adversity, competition, expectation,
Conflict, opinion, issue, will change,
What’s going on with my life,
To rely on outer understanding,
Though it's nice to feel understood,
Only I need to validate, 
Understand, for me to move forward…
My life is not to be understood,
But lived, as I was, I am,
Into who I am becoming,
More self-reliant, 
In all aspects, 
In all ways,
Self-reliant…

There is no wrong way,
Each is a step we need to take,
To become who we need to be,
Engaging more powerfully from within,
To create, to understand,
To live, to share, to realize,
To give, to receive, to be….
Self-reliant as we are all,
Each in our own way,
Creators of our lives..
