just write: 26.

to all the wins and losses 

that have filled your year, 

to every burst of laughter 

and every bitter tear. 

to each mountaintop victory

where the views took your breath away, 

to the nights spent in the valley 

where the darkness did the same. 

you grew braver, you grew stronger 

with every single one that passed

and you became a warrior 

that through every storm will last. 

//

I want you to know that you are enough

and I hate how those words don’t do that truth justice. 

because it’s true, it’s so true. 

the person you were created to be, 

the person you’ve become through every hard day, 

every heartbreak, 

every betrayal you just knew you wouldn’t survive…

that’s the one. 

the one who is enough.
