I Am More Than My Nightmares

by Jennae Cecelia

I am just trying to be the woman my fifteen-year-old self would have admired.

I see stars as small reminders from the universe that even dark times show specks of light when you really pay attention.

I am grateful for every storm the universe has given me. I am who I am because of every raindrop I have felt and every gust of wind that has shifted me in a different direction.

Do not fear, the rain is only here to help you grow.
