A few days ago,
the page turned quietly.
A season slipped into another,
rain softened the earth,
and the sky washed itself clean.
And somewhere in that shift,
I changed too.
My heart rearranged its furniture,
my mind cleared a space for truth,
and my soul
long silent
finally exhaled.
A few days ago,
light found me.
Truth touched me.
I reached inward with trembling hands
and pulled out clarity
warm, alive, unmistakable.
I felt myself becoming again,
a living symbol,
proof that I had not disappeared
even when I had forgotten my own name.
For so long, I had poured myself
into things too small for my spirit
things unworthy of the light in my eyes,
the music in my smile,
the quiet grace in my heart.
Things that never deserved me.
But a few days ago,
something returned
memory, identity, wholeness.
I remembered who I am
beneath the noise,
beneath the scars,
beneath the survival.
And now?
Fear cannot hold me.
I am stronger, sharper, softer
all at once.
Wiser in my bones,
gentler in my breath,
more loving, more gracious, more kind
than I have ever been.
I am full again
complete
crowned with the greatest blessing of my life:
my son.
My beautiful, beautiful boy.
So here’s to change.
To choosing life again,
not just enduring it.
To laughter that cracks open the sky,
to work that builds,
to tears that cleanse,
to rising higher than I ever thought I could.
To selflessness without self-erasure,
to good change,
to breathing deeply again.
Here’s to me
to returning,
to forgiving,
to becoming,
to living.
And here’s to the ending I once feared:
to releasing the man who broke me
again and again,
and finding my freedom in the letting go.
Here’s to a heart no longer bound to what hurt it,
a love reclaimed,
a spirit unburdened.
Here’s to being free.
