The Beauty of the New

We were kids and that's the beauty of it.

Too timid. Nothing ever made sense.

Not ready for anything. Too young to make future plans.

Fleeting moments that faded into memories that my older self will appreciate.

I will look back and laugh.

I will look back and feel so much gratitude.

I had so much fun once upon a time.

I'm an adult now and that's the beauty of it.

Time moves swiftly like a movie.

The future heals all wounds. The scars fade and it doesn't hurt anymore.

I'm not the same girl that has written those words before.

I've grown since then.

I've found love since then.

I'm having more fun with my life.

I'm transitioning into a new era.

Tell me, is this what peace feels like? The new path.

The new era.

The new.
