Morgan Harper Nichols, (MHN piece shown above), is one of my favorite Instagram follows. She is a poet and artist, and even though her poems are written for specific people, going through specific circumstances, her words tend to ring true for the masses.

I guess that’s what truth does. It touches the real, the raw, the tender places in us all. Morgan uses the stories of others to curate words that speak life and offer encouragement.

A lot of her pieces involve waiting and growing and finding beauty in the ordinary. Familiar themes. In fact, themes that ebb and flow throughout the rhythm of life.

TAKE HEART BREATH DEEP YOU HAVE NOT MISSED OUT ON WHAT WAS MEANT FOR YOU

This month, these words have provided so much comfort for me. The waiting often feels like punishment, an overlooking of sorts, a sense of being left behind.

So, maybe you, like me, need a little reminder this month: you are not missing, nor have you missed, that which has been purposed for you.

Regardless of how your situation looks, you have not missed out.
