I glowed from head to toe
Doors would open for me
Smiles would come from every direction
I asked for what I wanted and got it
I could feel everything
I laughed
I welcomed the crying
I welcomed community
I danced my way around my apartment
I observed my naked body
I realized I love my eyes
I indulged in pleasure
I slowed down
I saw myself
I used my voice
I took up space
I loved myself
I learned to love others again
I gave myself grace
I learned to laugh again
