lately i've been having a good life,
some momentuum, a nice time around,
i have plans for the near future,
healthy family,
lovely friends.
i don't think i've been this happy in a long time.
i haven't accomplished anything major,
this shouldn't even be a poem.
i'm somewhat glad that i get to wake up each morning and be me:
that feeling shouldn't go unnoticed,
it doesn't seem to be happening very often.
a lot of my worth is tied to someone else's opinion,
i fear;
i see that for most of these past months i haven't really paid much attention to it
as if suddenly i realized i am free to make my own decisions.

breathing in,
being grateful,
excited for what's ahead.
