monologue

These stories

This moment

Laughing at your choices

Crying over your mistakes

Realizing the thing you want

Isn't the thing you need

Fiercely standing up for yourself

Making it through heartbreak

Not taking yourself so seriously

Learning your self-worth

Being your own worst enemy

Turning the page

True love

Growing out of the person you were

Into the person you are now

Growth is painful

Growth is hard

It is beautiful

And it can leave you feeling hungover
