Once there was a girl who met a boy that was her world

After one too many fights, she realized this wasn't the one

With tear stained cheeks, she let go of what was once fun

And instead of sitting in her misery, she decided to do what flowers have done since the beginning of time

So she blossomed into a better version of herself as she learned the power of self-love

With her stretch mark covered thighs and mind that never stops racing, she found ways to feel beautiful again, no longer relying on another to do so

In her darkest times, she found the pieces of her that were lost in the chaos, but more importantly, she discovered new things

Like the way a rainy morning makes her feel at peace or how nothing makes her laugh harder than car rides with best friends

And with this, she accepted the idea of what's meant to be will be

No longer rushing to the next destination as she once did

Because life goes by fast enough, and while it can be tough, she's better than unreturned phone calls, forgotten promises, and hurtful words

She is the flower that wanted to bloom, but needed something to make her realize she could

Despite the mess that left her without a smile for far too long, she owes it her gratitude because it was that catalyst

So thank you, from the bottom of my full heart
