“I started calling that girl back . . .
The girl who loved living,
the girl who danced instead of walking.
The girl who had sunfl owers for eyes
and fi reworks in her soul.
I started playing music again,
hoping she would come out.
I started looking for beautiful moments to experience,
so she would feel safe enough
to show herself,
because I knew she was in there.
And she needed my kindness
and my eff ort to come
to the surface again.”
