who you had become.

“Falling apart created space for my art —
I do not blame anyone for it happening,
Nor do I thank anyone — not even myself — for letting it happen.

And I may never feel complete again,
But at least I have the chance to create myself anew.

And for that — only for that — I am thankful.”
― Laura Chouette, Where the Quiet Blooms
