i have changed.
like my favorite jeans
in middle school, 
i grow out of some things. 
i shed.
and i will continue to.
 

we are as fluid as the
rivers and the seasons, 
nothing is meant to 
always stay the same and
we are no exception. 

yes, i have changed. 
just as every single cell in
my skeleton will replace 
itself, 
my heart will be new, too.
and that is okay.
