when did I wake up okay? when did the sun stop hurting my eyes when did I start being able to get out of bed everyday no problem, when did I roll over and get out of bed and dress myself in clothes I liked, walk the streets with clicking heels and bright eyes, when did I start knowing how to spot a pothole a mile away and avoid it or hop out of it the minute I felt myself slipping, when did I start ordering coffee and enjoying the stillness of a night or a day, able to look in the mirror and be content, even pleased, with softness and curves and things I can't change, when did I become happier than the women that look in the mirror at their tight ***** and hate themselves? when did I start saying take me or leave me and then doing the leaving myself, confident in my ability to start over; when did I wake up strong?
