I stepped outside today

I was my full self

A hummingbird flew by

To remind me that the beauty of this world never left

Even though I haven’t forgiven myself for my mistakes

My guilt did not stop me from saying all that I needed to say

I laughed and drank wine

My mask was off

I’m not perfect

And I am not a complete fuck up

I am definitely human

And I was reminded that I am loved

And that love holds everything and all of us together
