This Place…

This place was chosen in hope,
It held me as my family shifted from one home to two,
This nest- the breeding grounds of discovery.

Free from what was,
Leaning into what could be,
A launching pad of possibility-
It felt fresh.

I stretched my dollar in exchange of it’s comfort,
The convenience- the sunlight,
To offer my daughter a bedroom in a more than humble abode,
She slept in my bed mostly,
But knowing I could offer us both what we needed was validating.

From here-
I rocket launched into people, places & situations,
Became the next version of me,
A fearless brave adventurer,
Surprising even those closest to me,
That I had so much energy to give,
I was thirsty for life, love and feeling…

This place had me FEELING.
I MEAN TRULY FEELING.
I’ve never felt as much as I’ve felt here…

I’ve been broken hearted here,
I’ve fell in love here,
I’ve kissed girls & boys here,
I’ve even expanded my cooking skills here…
I got my bunny here,
Zia’s seen every facet of me here,
I’ve seen her grow so much here,
Heck we even had Covid here…

My highest highs and lowest lows have all been here.

And now I am saying goodbye to this place,
Walls splattered with colorful pieces of me,
I take them all down and pack them away,
Grateful for the support I’ve had here,
Bringing me to this next adventure,
Where I feel even more love & fun awaits <3
