If I could visit my younger self I would go back to the day when the sky was blue and not the blue that brings rain but the blue that partner with the sun and the cloud fades. That day didn’t bring any cares in the world. It gave permission to stand in peace and daydreamed about the future. The time on the clock didn’t move. Nothing exist except the moment. There was no fork in the road just a beautiful silence and a butterfly in the making. The lion within had a roar eager to be exposed but seeds need water and a gem needs refining. So she grasped hold of the warmth of the sun on her face and basked in joy. Her laugh ignited hundred of echoes in the atmosphere and nothing she allowed threatened her youthfulness. ©️Safiyah Givens
