Hello, sunshine- you’ve been missed. I feel my bones expand for the first time in a long time. It’s like the air in my lungs is finally traveling throughout the rest of my body.

Im waking up a little earlier. I’m the first to laugh again. I’m focusing on the rhythm of my heartbeat to see if it sounds like yours. I’m perfectly heartbroken and healing and numb and I’m letting myself be okay with that for the first time in a long time. I’m getting better at showing myself the truth. And the truth is- I’m all these things. The truth is whatever I want it to be.

I think cutting wounds back open to find out which one hurt the most made me sick- and I’m tired of needing stitches. So let my scars be a map across my skin that leads me back to my bones. Let them expand. Let them glisten. Let them fucking breathe again.
