The numbers of my life
Published in

I was 18 when I was in my first relationship
and 19 when I let our breakup define me
20 when I realized my love sees past gender
And 23 when I finally put the past behind me
I stood in place for 2–3 more years
While I figured out my next move
I tried breaking down invisible walls
Having everything and nothing to prove
At 25 I had to decide
What’s really good for me
All feelings aside, pushing down my pride
I got rid of all the toxicity
I’m 27 now and pretty proud
Of how far I’ve come
I’m accepting that change is constant
And my growth will never be done.
