A Wildflower Expressions Blog 🌺 On December 21st, I step into my thirty third year of life, and before I move forward, I need to pause. Not because I am tired, although yes, but because the woman I am now deserves to look back and say we made it. From 2021 to now, life did not just test me. It tried to dismantle me. Three mental breaks. Three moments where everything inside me said I cannot do this anymore. And yet, I did. I rebuilt from scratch more times than I can count.

And when you create from the heart, something magical happens: the universe starts to move with you.

You’ve sat in hospital waiting rooms, folded laundry at midnight, and held my hand through panic and pain. You’ve seen me at my worst —

No one spoke peace into me the way you could with just one breath. I thought I’d lost you when life got heavy, but really, you were teaching me that belief isn’t built in the light — it’s built in the dark.

I forgive you for chasing approval from people who never learned how to love you without conditions. For staying too long where your light was dimmed. For all the “should have known better” moments that still echo when you close your eyes. You did the best you could with what you knew at the time.
