One morning you wake and the air feels different
The sky is wide, the colors alive
Your shoulders no longer ache with carrying
What was never yours to keep
And in their place you feel the lift of something new
The burdens that once bent your spine
Have become feathers in your hands
Each one holding a lesson, a glimmer, a gift
Proof that even the heaviest load
Can be transformed into something that soars
You move through the day with a quiet ease
Smiling at the way sunlight finds you
Opportunities seem to bloom where you stand
And joy greets you at every corner
As if it has been chasing you all along
Your love for yourself radiates outward
Drawing people who see your light
And reflect it back in ways
That make you grateful you kept going
Even when the road was steep and shadowed
The life around you feels like a garden in spring
Alive with color, humming with possibility
And you know it is not luck but choice
The choice to release, to nurture, to grow
To let your own heart be the compass
You step forward without hesitation now
For you have learned the art of traveling light
And the world opens before you
Not as a weight to bear
But as a sky to fly
