I started to stay in my world and saw it through my eyes. I stopped trying to conform myself to fit into the world of others. I stopped begging for attention and gave up on chasing people, places and things that didn’t want me in it. I stopped making myself so little, stopped shrinking into cracks unseen. I stopped worrying about what others thought, and I started to breathe. I turned off all the noise that drowned me and began swimming. I let the sun come down and touch my skin as I absorbed the warmth, finally warming from within. I saw butterflies and magic everywhere I went. I stopped listening to what people told me didn’t exist because I decided to believe it did.
The Woman I Embrace
