you are a fire (poem)

A short poem about healing and believing you’re good at friendship.

I've Never Felt More Beautiful

What happens when you take away the shoulds and the constant looking in on others’ lives, and start listening to yourself again? I’ll tell you - it’s freedom, and seeing just how beautiful you and your life really are.
