Dear Past,

Thank you for all the lessons.The messy ones, the painful ones, the ones I didn’t understand until much later.

You were a wild teacher, but you showed me what I needed to see ~ who I was, what I could handle and how deeply I could grow ♡

There were moments I wanted to skip the chapter, to fast-forward to the “better part” But now I see ~ the healing, the strength, the softness ~ they were all hidden in those hard bits. The heartbreaks that broke me also cleared the way for something softer to grow ~ a deeper kind of love……..myself ♡

And Dear Future,

I’m ready now. Not perfectly, not completely ~ just ready enough. Ready to keep showing up. Ready to trust what’s unfolding, even when I can’t see the full picture yet ♡

Because maybe that’s what readiness really is? Not having it all figured out, but having faith that I’ll meet whatever comes with love, curiosity and grace ♡

So here’s to what’s next ~ to growth without fear, to softness without apology and to whatever magic is quietly waiting on the horizon ♡

Love, the ever-evolving, Rain x
