i pray you heal from things no one ever apologized for

[endofachapter]

if you’re ever questioning yourself,

just remember that even though

they may feel like such a huge piece of your life,

if they don’t complete your picture then

what are they there for?

sometimes pieces just don’t fit together

and that’s okay.

you just have to keep trying and working

with what truly sticks

and sooner or later,

you’ll complete that picture.
