I am not the same person I was a year ago. I am not the same person I was a month ago. I am not even the same person I was a couple of days ago. I keep enduring these experiences that are changing the fabric of my very being. Each time is a death of self. I am in mourning - mourning others and mourning myself. I want to return to those versions of myself, I want to be the person I was before all of these terrible things. But I accept that no good comes from clinging to old, ill-fitting skins. Instead, I will lay them to rest and use each moment as an opportunity for rebirth.
