There’s a version of me I almost forgot —
the one who laughed louder,
moved slower,
felt everything like it was art.
Somewhere between becoming wife, mother, and healer,
she grew quiet —
not lost, just waiting for me to come back.
It took love’s patience to find her again —
the kind that doesn’t demand,
that touches without taking,
that reminds me I’m more than everything I give away.
Becoming her again isn’t about going backward —
it’s about remembering that desire and softness can coexist,
that womanhood isn’t something you outgrow,
it’s something you grow into.
He sees her now —
the woman I’m still learning to love,
the one who is both fire and grace,
both longing and peace.
🕯 I’m not returning to who I was —
I’m becoming her again,
this time on my own terms.
