This Year
The year is 20XX and you have stopped digging your fingers in your wounds. You have learned to stop biting your tongue and filling your mouth with blood.
This is the year you learn that being okay is your body’s way of saying you're close to the edge. You learn to be better than okay.
This year, you open the door instead of repeatedly slamming it shut.
You have plucked out all your thorns. You do not think about those who put them there in the first place.
No matter how bad it gets, there is no longer anything you can't handle.
