Beauty of Imperfection, Imperfection of Beauty

Beauty and imperfection are two key aspects of my life. I used to think of them as unrelated, but they are so intertwined I don't know how I didn't notice before. So here's to beauty, and to imperfection, and the beauty of imperfection, and the imperfection of beauty.

It doesn’t hurt anymore.

I don’t miss T.

I don’t miss J.

I don’t miss BMD.

I think of them always, but it’s a matter of habit. I don’t feel their absence in my life. I know they’re absent, but I don’t remember how it felt to have them in my life.

I don’t want this to define me anymore.
