A feeling felt that I never ever thought I'd feel. The warmth hiding in my heart has finally started to spread: a flicker of a flame growing into a fire, newly-found and now nourished like a newborn baby swaddled in blankets. So perfect; so precious. So fiesty, yet so fragile.
I promise I'll hold it tight with all my might because I have waited a lifetime for this wonderful feeling. This indescribable sensation. This precious peace that was impossible, I'd thought.
All the birthday cake candles. All the therapy sessions. All the tears. All the bank transactions. All the anti- depressants. And finally, finally, it all feels worth it.
