deep in my soul, lived a beautiful energy.
a feeling that permeated my whole body with love.

​

​

when i began to feel this feeling
everything that i once thought mattered didn’t.
no person, no place, no thing
could possibly measure up to the love that was within me.

​

​​

in time my life slowly began to fall apart.
everything that didn’t align with this energy
began to fall out of my life.

​

​​

the more i maintained this state of being,
the more i was confronted
with my deepest fears and traumas.

​

​

like the waves,
i had to break
in order to be reborn.

​

​

this journey has been the most beautiful
yet destructive journey i have embarked on.

and through all the pain i've realized
for the first time in my life,
i’m back home.
in my body.
the real me.
not the me the world told me to be,
but the me who i can look in the mirror and appreciate.

​

​​

not because i look a certain way.
not because i have a certain job.
not because i have a ton of friends.
not because of anything outside of me.

​

​​

but because of the deep knowing within me
that wherever i go from this point on,
i’m held by the universe.

​

​

i created "asweare" because i believe
this feeling is within all of us—
waiting to be accessed, felt, and expressed.

​

​

i believe the journey we have been dealt,
and the obstacles we have faced,
is our journey to true freedom,
true joy, and true peace.

​

​​

i hope asweare inspires you
to pursue your own journey,
whatever that means to you.

​

​​

because there’s nothing more i desire
than to see you smile.
to see you happy.
to see you so in love with life
that you cannot possibly attract anything other than love.

​

​

and there’s nothing more you deserve
than to wake up feeling at ease in your body,
and at home in your heart.
to be surrounded by likeminded people
who inspire you and love you as you are.
to go after what you’ve always dreamed of
and watch it form in front of your eyes.

​

​

disclaimer: i’m not a guru, nor a genius.
i am simply a girl whose heart has been shattered a thousand times.
these words are just pieces i’ve gathered along the way.
i hope they can serve you in some way <3
