It's All Just A Memory

My best friend has a collection of succulents

Some tall, some short

Some FAT, some thin

At first, I didn’t understand

For they’re all the same shade of green

And they don’t provide a flower

“Why do you love them so much?” I questioned

“They’re easy to care for. and so beautiful.”

When he started to slip a w a y

I began to admire succulents more

Each one is unique, they don’t need much care

But an occasional drink of water and sunshine

And when you tear them apart, they can grow back

Stronger and more beautiful than ever before.

Now that you’re gone

Now that you’ve torn me apart

I will grow new roots

Instead, this time, I’ll grow roots within myself

So that no one else can destroy me

I will grow more and more each day

In beauty and in confidence

One day, I will no longer shrivel up at the sound of your name

And one day, you will see me

And my strong, beautiful, unique, renewed self

And wish that you could once again be my water

My sunlight

My home

Ok but wasn’t there a song “One That I Want” by Xavier Dunn on @taylorswift’s Apple Music “Playlist by Me” or was that all a fever dream??

Then in “Paper Rings” she sings “oh you’re the one I want” so was that an Easter Egg or am I just making all this up?

I find that I spend the days just going through the motions, with the dull ache of sadness that I just can’t kick to the curb. Has it always been this way? Everything I think about is the negative. “You look fat”, “you have such a bad double chin” “you’re so ugly, no wonder you’re single”. Why is this all that matters to me? Why do I care so much about how I look and how others will think of me? What made me this way? It’s so exhausting.

People tell me that in order to heal, I need to stop caring what others think. But how do you flip that switch?
