I have many regrets, but I don't think I would change much if I could.

The pain may have made things hard, but it made me soft. It made me kind

You have a wonderful way with words

Despite the spite all around,

forget not the heart that I am.

In the end,

I have always been, the beginning.

This piece feels like a quiet exhale after a storm tender, bruised, and beautifully brave. Imi doesn’t just reflect; she confesses, with the kind of honesty that only comes from surviving something deeply personal. There’s a softness in her surrender, a grace in choosing the same heartbreaks for the sake of the laughter they once brought. It’s not about glorifying pain, but about honouring the journey the messy, aching, radiant path that shaped her. The imagery is delicate, the tone intimate, and the message quietly powerful: even in the ruins, there’s beauty. And in the end, a quiet kind of calmness stays.

imi's avatar

This reflection moved me deeply, Adrião. You captured the very essence of what I hoped to express, that quiet grace in surrender and the beauty that still breathes in the ruins. It is never about glorifying pain, as you so beautifully said, but about learning to walk with it, to find tenderness in the ache, and to recognise that growth often speaks in whispers rather than triumphs.

I am truly touched by how you received this piece with the same stillness and sincerity it was written from. Your words reminded me why we write at all, to meet each other in that shared, fragile humanity. 🤍

Thank you and let's write.
