i stripped down to my bones and saw all the ways time had etched into my skin. like water and wind carve ribbons into rock, i too bear the markings of my past. i wasn’t always like this— i used to be soft, porous, malleable. i’m still young but boy, have i experienced life deserving of my age. i feel strong. the other day i picked myself up off the ground and gave myself a hard look in the mirror. “no one is coming to save you,” i said. and my bones stared back at me and agreed. my heart is strong. my mind lapses from time to time but i always choose to get back up. it’s not that it has no other choice, but that it consciously chooses to do so. the skin, the muscle, the tenderness underneath it all, the layers peeled away with time, and regrown stronger than before. i’m proud of the work i put in, even on the days that don’t feel like work. not at least, but at most. at most, i change. at most, i reach my dreams and then dream again. at most, i feel every ounce of life. at most, i am a higher evolvement of me.
