Prompt: Knowing where and who you are now, write a letter of advice to your past self when your life seemed most confusing or difficult. Without warning against them, speak of the places you'll go. Keep in mind that, if you hadn't gone there, you wouldn't be here.
The fabric of your life is rich and vibrant
The strands knit you in,
tightly, behind and before
New fibers will be woven
Hair from a perm gone wrong
Fragments of unrequited love
Ribbon from a favorite dress
Some threads will loosen
Chords from a song, words lost
Relationships frayed
Dreams unraveled
Take your full shape
Reach to the fringes
Expand beyond this corner
Trace the material of yourself
Hold tightly to the truth
You are good
Hold loosely to the rest
