this lullaby.

As the image of myself becomes sharper in my brain & more precious, I feel less afraid that someone else will erase me by denying me love. 25 & free.🌻 Queen of Battle 👑 You can still keep going long after you think you can't. The carousel never stops turning;  Goals: Get more certifications-Get stationed in Japan-Get a Degree-Get promoted to SGT-Fall in love again. You don’t know what it’s like to lose the love of your life. You don’t know how that messes a person up. You’ve never had to claw your way back from that.

I think part of growth is accepting that the youngest part of me never healed. Never got an apology. Never got any kind of closure:

Just had to move on.

and that’s okay.
