      Ends with Me

      Just a boy with a dream to grow up like Dad,

      learnt the behaviours I saw he had,

      Son, don’t show emotion, boys don’t cry,

      silence and anger are how you’ll get by.

      Taught me the same way he was raised himself,

      as the cycle repeats itself.

      Now a man with three sons growing fast,

      learning to change beliefs from the past.

      Strong back, soft front, stand tall and proud,

      my sons can now see me, emotions allowed.

      Wear your heart on your sleeve and love fiercely,

      the cycle repeating, ends with me.

      Melissa Lainer

      All the Stars

      To my gorgeous boys,

      You have always been a dream of mine. Ever since I could push a doll in a pram, I have wanted the two of you. You are my dream come true, from the moment I knew you existed, now and forever.

      My dreams for you are simple. Be happy. Love and be loved. Laugh, learn, and listen to your heart. Follow your dreams and know I will always be here by your side, cheering you on, supporting your next step, loving you and watching you blossom into the divine individuals you are now and will always be.

      One of the greatest lessons I have learned in life that I want to pass on to you is that happiness is an inside job. It is not up to the external world or others to make you happy. You need to sit with you and find it within yourself. By coming home to your heart’s callings time and time again, trusting your intuition, and courageously stepping forward to create the life you desire, you will find your happiness.

      Along the way, others may have opinions about what they think you should be doing, but that is their business. Yours is to be true to yourself, honour your individuality, and follow your path so long as you do not harm yourself or others. It is, of course, important not to dismiss others. You can learn from them. Listen and discern for yourself whether the information others provide is for you or whether you set it free.

      On your journey, you will notice that life moves in ebbs and flows. This is normal. We all feel the ups and downs, the heartbeat of life. Allow yourself to be present at each stage and in each moment. Let yourself feel. Acknowledge those feelings and find a healthy way to express and release them. When you allow your feelings to move through you, they don’t get stuck and weigh you down later in life. What helps you move through your feelings will depend on the circumstances that lead to that feeling arising.

      My go-to ways to move through heavier emotions are art, meditation, sound, movement, and a good old cry. Others spend time in nature, journaling, and exercising. You will need to find what works for you. I am here to hold you, listen, and help you whenever needed.

      There will be constants in your life, and there will be change. This includes people, places, jobs, pets and more. These things will move in and out of your life. We never really know how long each will be around. Sometimes we choose the length of stay, and other times it is chosen for us. It is hard when things you love leave, regardless of the reason.

      It can bring up feelings of abandonment, anger, sadness, disappointment, frustration, or any other feeling. At times like these, you may feel like the world is dark, that these feelings will never pass or that you have lost the light in your life, your happiness. I promise you that it will all be ok. This, too, shall pass. Breathe. Come back to your heart, and listen to what it is saying. Feel those feelings. Let them move through you and release them. It may take a while. Just take it one day at a time. Seek
