I reflect upon another year. A tricky, wonderful, terrifying, and magical year. This one was another hard time, but I believe the purpose of this is to let you grow.
I have faced bitter heartbreak, lonely whispers clouding my thoughts. The monsters in my mirror casted shadows over moments; moments where everything felt lost.
I felt passion, a hope for more. My curiosity came surging back to be after being locked up.
I think I discovered what it is to be free, free by a merciful God.
In ruins of hurt and brokenness, came a joy everlasting. The chains in which I thought were my only hope were holding me back.
I experienced love and laughter; lovely memories encapsulated in the locket of my heart. Inspiring, showing me humanity in the sound of a voice. Smiles highlighting true bliss.
I lived vulnerability, I let go of fear. I wore my heart on my sleeve and learned from the pain and the beauty of that. Though I still am afraid, I am learning to let go.
Everything was such a lovely shade of lavender, comfort and bliss. Warmth and loveliness filling my soul with love. Romantic gestures of life opening my hunger to experience it all. There is so much to understand, and so much to do.
To love, to lose, to learn, and to live.
And everything was lavender, and everything was well.
