Awaken

Once upon a time...

...there was a girl who, for more than two and a half years, kept her heart under lock and key. With high built walls, and a certainty she was irreparably broken.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't connect. She felt out-of-body, without access to her own heart.

Wrong pieces of the puzzle, every time. She resigned herself to the fact a part of her had closed, and no matter who knocked, it was impossible to answer.

But then.

Something unexplainable happened. Something clicked. Switched. She was comfortable. She was vulnerable. She felt. And it was all okay. She fell in sync with him, with ease. And she began to awaken.

Like Sleeping Beauty after the kiss, 
like the earth after the rain, 
she reignited. 

She could feel her heart again, and her heart could feel.
Natural. Equal. It simply...was.

Re-inspired. As a woman, as an artist. Given fresh eyes in which to see her city, her life, and her current path. Laid out before her like riches, she goes forward.

Open, and able to feel, once again.

No matter where the path leads, she is grateful to him, for his gift to her.

As it turns out, magic is very, very real.
