How do I honour
myself

I’ll never be the same
I’m learning to breathe again
changing shape

“learning to breathe again/changing shape/changing color.”
this was a killer line my superbly talented friend
I’m
still
learning …
There are many times I’ve had to learn to breathe again, or changed shape and colour. I’m sure in character I’m unrecognisable from who I used to be – for the better. Those changes are inevitable and also essential. I hope you like your new shape Geo. :)
learning to love
myself
and this world

continuously changes
Like always, your words resonate sadness. Its profound. Im glad to be back to your beautiful writing.

A rainbow, after the rain, within the rain, because of the rain, changing shape, changing colour, you are.
