I Glow

I've been doing well with my skin lately.

Extremely well.

I'm healing up quite well despite inner turmoils.

And I'm excited.

With each blemish that begins to fade, I feel like I'm remembering a little more who I am normally underneath the pain and confusion.

It's ineffable.

And I will not forget this feeling.

Because I know If I hold on to it, it will help sweep me upward and out of this.

I feel like a helium balloon on the rise.

I will soon be untouchable.

Touch.

When I touch my face, I touch it with kindness.

When I brush my fingers over wounds, I'm beginning to think more about how much longer until they heal on their own, rather than thinking about ripping them open.

I know rough days are yet to come when I will feel like I need to intervene,

but in the meantime, I'm appreciating how I feel presently.

I glow.
