Interconnected - Original

Message me directly about shipping, and I can get you a quote! INTERCONNECTED 3’ by 3’ This idea really captured me, I get images in my mind that I just have to create and bring to life. The poem was inspired by the image. I knew it had so much meaning. But I wasn’t sure which direction to go with it. Here’s what I came up with. Everyone is on the path to being better. Along our way we might forgot where we come from and try to disassociate with the versions of ourselves we don’t like. Why can’t we love ourselves through all stages.. and look back with acceptance.. it’s almost necessary I think. You might still be holding onto shame and guilt if you really dislike something about yourself or a stage you were going through. You were just trying to find your way. And it’s okay. Interconnected I wandered to the water thinking I would leave something there Leave something behind Thinking that maybe I would be someone different when I left Like shedding an old version of myself As they might say Instead of removing I gained something instead I found love for the old version of me Who doesn’t know everything Who still doesn’t know everything I found acceptance I chose not to reject her once more The version that felt unsafe, undesirable Detachment felt like the best solution Escaping reality, to whatever reality I created and believed it to be But instead I found myself interconnected with everything Interconnected with everything that is powerful Interconnected to everything that needs healing Interconnected with all the versions of self I believe I have It’s complete that way I am not whole without her She was curious She found her way She was so brave She was interconnected to the woman she’s always dreamed of being I am all that I have But I can be so much more When I am interconnected
