Homecoming
Homecoming isn’t a final destination — it’s a state I returned to in moments, sometimes losing it, sometimes finding it again.
It’s where strength meets softness, where self-trust takes root, and where pride in who I’ve become rises above what I’ve endured.
These pieces are about arriving, not back to who I was, but forward into someone stronger, clearer, and wholly my own, even if I had to arrive there more than once.
