i will shed the skin i’ve grown—

so tough and yet so soft

i will be reborn again

from blood, from suffering, yet again

i will remake what it means to be me

what it means to be strong

and what it means to be soft.

Please don’t expect me to always be good and kind and loving. There are times when I will be cold and thoughtless and hard to understand.

Remember, being yourself is the only way to find out who truly cares and loves you for you.

Love didn’t hurt you. Someone who doesn’t know how to love you hurt you. Don’t confuse the two.
