for years i was digging through the dark

Audrey Lorea · May 28, 2026

for years i was diggingthrough the dark,clutching the roots,terrified to shift

but today i woke upand noticed the lightdidn’t just hit me.

it came from me.an unbothered, iridescent glow.

i am becoming the architectof my own myth.

aligned. rooted. winning.

they wanted me tosettle for the pavement,but the cosmos had other plans.

turns out you can'tbury someonewho was always meantto grow toward the stars.

the sudden breaksbecame my biggestbreakthroughs,shattering the oldmolds of securityso i could build divinecommunity on my own terms.
