I see my better days in view 🖤

It's coming.

I feel excited to move on from a lot.

To not be the person others feel superior to anymore. To not feel dumped and unlikable. But to be humble and magnanimous because not only did I make it, but nothing drags me down to the places I once lived.

However, those places are not and never were shameful like I was made to feel. I will never forget them, and I will never remember them as negative. Struggling, sadness and clawing from the bottom are not villainy. The truth found in those dark places is invaluable and important.

I will be kind to others no matter where they are. No disdain will come from me, just the balanced, gentle benevolence I've learned to give myself when no one else could be bothered with me.

I'm thankful for my struggles, my issues and my verbalisms. They are/will be sacred to me. So I never forget, I am not above anyone or anything.

I am only grateful to be a part.

And hopefully a part that continually puts out something truly good. Not ideals, not standards or perfections. Those are garbage to me.

Just pure and simple love.

With such composure behind it, rejection is only a catalyst.

The dark and light in me was never a secret and never will be. And I'm proud of myself for accepting it all as part of growth. A tree finally surpassing it's shadows, up into the light, whose purpose is to nourish the forest it lives within.

Not to be the tallest or fastest or most beautiful, just the marvelousness of contributing and simply Being.
