In My Own Hands
About this piece: This piece is what came after. After the sadness.
After the anger. After learning that what I felt didn’t have to define me.
Instead of fighting it, I learned to hold it differently. To carry it with understanding, and with softness.
The sadness remained, but no longer consumed me. The anger, once intertwined with it, was something I chose to release.
This work reflects that shift—a quiet moment of recognition, of choosing who I would become. A piece about ownership, about holding your story in your own hands
and building something of your own.
This piece is the second part of “Bloomed from Blue,” continuing the story of growth, release, and becoming.
