2009 to 2019. From bud to bloom. Always growing. Always unfolding. Learning to accept the beauty of my many layers. Trusting the process. And always leaning towards the light. . Much has changed in 10 years. I went from falling to flying. From boxed to finding my way out. From small to bold. . The thing is, I still fall. Sometimes, I still feel boxed. And there are times I feel small. . The difference now though, is this. I trust myself, this journey and am well versed in the fight it took to get here. . I now know that falling isn’t failing. That a box can be opened, and I have the key. And smallness is temporary. And a feeling I can choose to leave. . Maybe I’m not where I thought I’d be ten years ago. But then maybe the universe knew better. I learned to trust her. And myself. And with that faith, I’m ten years stronger, wiser, and more versed in self love, than I could’ve ever predicted. . This is where I bloom.🌺 . #10yearchallenge #budtobloom #gracefulwarrior #writeyourstory #mak...
