Recovery will be behind me. I will learn how to not be so angry. Falling asleep won't be the hardest part of my day. All of the scars will have faded away. Conversations will be easier to start. I will look in the mirror and recognize art. Hospitals won't be a scary place. Home will be a familiar space. I will look back and I will understand, that pain and growing come hand in hand. One day, I'll be stronger than ever before, and I'll have this moment to be thankful for.
