I’m still traveling, thus I haven’t had much time to sit down and write a poem. But the other day, while at the beach, I came up with this… sort of musing. Honestly, I want to think more about this and make it into a sort of poem, but for now, I think it’s just something I needed to remember and learn. Hopefully it impacts you all as well ❤

Perhaps unboxing myself will be the simplest method to finding myself. In not trying to fit into rules and requirements set by both society and myself, im able to find the space to unfurl my wings and fly. Perhaps on the path to love myself, I must allow myself, first, to hurt. In pain comes healing. We must first be broken to be fused back together with gold.

Stay creative,
