Blinked and 4 years went by.
I said countless goodbyes these last years. Goodbye to versions of relationships. Goodbye to things that weren’t working anymore.
Goodbye to versions of me that will can never be, in some other reality they are happy. I had to accept to find peace.
I found gratitude in my flaws, my shadow, and my trauma. I would not be here without them.
Tears and laughter have become my religion and my sanctuary.
I stopped visiting the void I used to scream into. And I found healing and courage in allowing myself to be seen and to be known.
For a while, I think I was just floating but I think I finally found my shore.
For you these next years I want you to lean into restraint, courage, resilience, curiosity, kindness, and love.

I love you. Happy Birthday.
