I am learning to take up space. The colors around me are not a mask— they are my feelings, loud and honest. Some days I am pink and tender, other days I am blue and deep. Today, I am everything at once. I look up because I still believe there is something good waiting for me. Even after doubt. Even after hurt. I am not perfect. My lips are parted with questions, my heart is still figuring things out. But I am here. Alive. Growing in my own way. And that is enough.
