We were born with a halfway broken heart
and a mind that's against us.
We are our own worst enemy.
Our life will be an uphill battle,
so put on your armor.
Fear not, though, little one.
For every impossible day
there will be a refuge
in the ones we love
and the stories we discover
living inside of us.
I'm so endlessly proud of us
for staring down our demons and ghosts
and taking a sword to them.
We're so much more than them.
We're a fire that burns
even in the rainstorm.
We're thirty years old now
but our journey is still at the beginning. I stand amazed at where we are
and stare in awe at where we'll go.
From this day on
I'm no longer our enemy.
I'll strive to be our best friend
and I'll stroke our embers
until we're a roaring blaze.
