It’s OK Not To Want It All

August 22, 2013 /

 

It’s ok not to want it all.
There’s nothing wrong with you if you don’t.
When we marched for the vote,
when we burned our bras,
when we smashed those glass
ceilings that promised ascension for some….
but not, it seemed, for you,
when we created a plethora of opportunity for ourselves and our daughters,
we were actually delivering the gift of choice.

With every choice you make
you are crafting your life.
You are making a declaration of your existence,
your difference, your presence here,
right now.

It’s ok not to want it all.
There’s nothing wrong with you if you don’t.
Because the choice to say no,
to practice discernment,
to act in alignment,
is what we were striving for.
Not this blind wholesale of
everything – the choice of no choice at all.
You, my darling, are allowed to want what you want.

With every choice you make
you are crafting your life.
You are making a declaration of your existence,
your difference, your presence here,
right now.

It’s ok not to want it all.
There’s nothing wrong with you if you don’t.
No-one’s going to roll their eyes,
or frown in disapproval,
or tut at you as you pass them by on the journey to your own becoming.
You’re not letting the side down.
You’re not neglecting to pay your dues.
You, my love, are not a disappointment –
and never could be; you, my sister, my daughter, my friend, are everything.

Everything.
