the making of me

Everything that happened made me who I am.

held with love · released with peace

What I lost

made room for what I needed.

The people who left

taught me how to stay with myself.

My mistakes

became the map I steer by now.

The fear

showed me where my courage was hiding.

The hard seasons

are the reason I can carry the weight now.

And here I am — made of all of it, and grateful.
