Have you seen this girl?
Just over “x”ft tall.
About yay high. * holds up hand to indicate height *
She had a sparkle in her eye and a smile on her face.
Always curious in nature, asking questions & seeking to expand her knowledge.
Her laughter sounds like children giggling in a schoolyard. Greeting your ears as you walk down the halls, long before your eyes finally have a chance to settle on her face.
The girl whose beauty radiates outside as much as it did inside.
Who took pride in her appearance no matter the occasion and found joy in the little things like matching her accessories to her outfits. Waking up before the crack of dawn to do a boot camp with friends. Exploring street fairs and street markets on the weekends to find the most unique little ornaments at just the right price to give away as a keepsake.
The girl whose confidence was unshakeable. Even though her voice was soft, almost like a whisper at times. Contrary to when she tried to get loud. It would still come out too high pitched or hushed.
Who stood firm in her beliefs especially when it came to acts of oppression and had a plan for the future ahead.
Always bright and cheerful, but can flip to a sharp-witted tongue in an instant when the situation demanded.
The one who had such tenacity when advocating for those who experienced injustice whether fighting on behalf of a friend, stranger or herself.
The girl who loved giving little tokens of appreciation away, solely because she enjoyed bringing smiles to the faces of those she loved and cherished.
The one who practiced self care as a daily ritual. With still more love left over to go around.
So have you seen her?
…This girl who is missing?
This girl right here in the photo?…
This girl…
who was once
…me.

I miss the old me. It’s time to fall back in love with myself.
