The Bloom That Still Stayed
Standing inside a moment that feels too heavy for our own ribs, wishing the ache would stop asking to be carried. When I wrote this line, I wasn’t thinking about flowers at all. I was thinking about the wounded part of me that still wanted to stay... even when the rest of me didn’t. The hummingbird became a symbol for that small, soft flicker of hope we lose and find over and over. It always finds the wounded bloom first. It always knows where the ache is hiding. For a long time, I believed growth and self-harm carried the same burn. that collapse was the only doorway to change. I didn’t know healing could come without hurting myself to earn it. But the truth is quieter. The truth kinder. A grave is only as deep as we allow ourselves to settle into. The hummingbird taught me this, returning every morning to a withering branch, tasting dew from a promise the world forgot to keep. It reminded me that even the smallest parts of us deserve someone who stays. And sometimes that someone has to be us. If you’re reading this with your chest tight and your breath thin, You’re always worth returning to. Always. And somewhere in you, a bloom is still waiting for the warmth of your own hands.
Book Excerpt
Diaries of a Borderline
A hummingbird perches upon the newly bloomed beauty beautifully.
Cascading leaves blow in-between the morning dew.
Hope leads the heart to new pieces of itself, the soul simply asks us, “Will we stay long enough to find them?”
