It didn’t come suddenly. I didn’t wake up and just snap my fingers and decide to be content. I wish it was that easy. It’s been growing, like a tiny plant that you water and feed and love and then one day two leaves fall off and it starts to tilt sideways and wilt and you know it’s going to die. You give up hope and ignore it. But then one day, you look across the room, and there’s a flower bud. You didn’t even know it would survive, let alone flower.
