periods

Nine months ago I didn’t realize I was entering a life altering period.
Nine months ago I trusted my heart more than my brain.
Nine months ago I made a small decision that changed my entire life.

15 weeks ago I started a process that I didn’t give much credence to.
15 weeks ago I cried going into a new experience I was scared of.
15 weeks ago I talked to 13 strangers in a cold room about things few of you know about me.

Tuesday night I was handed a rock and it was announced that I was graduating.
Tuesday night there were strangers who said many kind things about me as they held my rock.
Tuesday night after class I put my graduation rock in my pocket and left the building a stronger woman.

In the future, I won’t make the same mistakes that lead me to this experience.
In the future, I might share more details about this period.
In the future, I will let the past 9 months continue to shape my life.

    i'm so proud of you. i know this whole process was a terrifying and scary and hard thing for you to go through, but you did it. even when you didn't want to, you did. again, I AM SO PROUD OF YOU. you have come a long way, love, and i'm glad that you have learned from the past, and how to approach situations differently now. xoxo
