I asked her,
Where have you been?
She answered,
"I have been blooming in the moonlight light and trusting in stillness. I have been writing more and worrying less. I have been dancing with my demons and giving them a name. I have been making memories with each version of myself as I shed. I have been collecting my tears to water my garden again. I have been calling back the pieces of me I ghosted for so long. I have been talking less and letting people see my actions more. I have been cutting ties with anything that drains my soul. I have been feeling lighter as I dive deeper. I have been scrolling less and admiring the sky more. I have been setting boundaries with family members because I can no longer hold their trauma. I have been leading with love even when I feel pain. I have been feeling comfortable in the dark because that's how you become closer to yourself. I have been praying I don’t let my lover down when they need me the most. I have been looking at myself with more love and less judgment. I have been thanking God for what he took from my path because that’s a divine win and he knows it. I have been grieving pains, too old to name because I was afraid to look at them in the face. I have been honoring my sexuality instead of looking at it with shame. I have been connecting with nature—welcoming the liberation, feeling its grace. I have been acknowledging my mistakes and seeing them as a strength for behind each of them is a lesson I learned. I have been breaking into pieces to welcome clarity. I have been feeling with an open, open heart.”
