Epitome

We become the epitome of everything we love, and don't.

Read that again.
Happiness. Sadness.
Hope. Doubt.
Anger. Calmness. 
Check yourself. 
Find the root of both ends and water them. 
Learn to lead yourself as you would lead someone you love. 
Because you love you, right? Right? 
I know it seems almost impossible to be gentle with yourself in a world that's filled with sharp turns and bumps but, every road has ease eventually so... don't trip.
And frankly, we need some gentleness in this damn life.
The never ending yearn to be what we subconsciously run from.
When in reality, what we need comes easier than what we want if we allow that patience and gentleness. 
Be the epitome of that. Try to be. 
For you, more importantly, but that shit is a chain reaction in itself. BEAUTIFULLY.
Ya'll are not trying to hear that though...and neither am I sometimes. 
Gotta start somewhere. 
And it's always you.
