"b, you'll be okay, you know? you'll be okay."

sometimes you're two weeks out from moving away from everything you've ever known, your house is in boxes, and you're feeling a little lost, so you put on the periwinkle suede heels your foreverest best friend just gifted you, turn on some music, notice the awareness it takes to stand tall when your balance is off, and tell yourself, i can stand.

even when it's tricky, i can stand.

i will always find my footing again.
