Happy New Year!

 

the year is done. i spread the past three hundred sixty-five days before me on the living room carpet.

 

here is the month i decided to shed everything not deeply committed to my dreams. the day i refused to be a victim of self-pity. here is the week i slept in the garden. the spring i wrung out self-doubt.* hung your kindness up. took down the calendar. the week i danced so hard my heart learned to float above water again. the summer I unscrewed all the mirrors from their walls. no longer needed to see myself to feel seen. combed the weight out of my hair.

 

i fold the good days up and place them in my back pocket for safekeeping. draw the match. say goodbye to the unnecessary.* the light of the fire warms my toes. I pour myself a glass of warm water to cleanse myself for january. here i go. stronger and wiser into the new.
