My mind is an oubliette

My journey into this life has brought me joy, pain, laughter and tears....and I wouldn't take a damn thing back. I'm not the same person I was and thankfully so. I see her, curled up into a ball, unable to connect to those around her. Through the self reflection and life lessons she starts to perk up, slowly, like an opening flower in the early morning light. I know one day I will make her proud, standing tall, open to love and loss. It isn't an easy thing- it's step by step...

Now I can actually enjoy myself in public...soaking up the rays☀️

Love yourself ??
