Single and smiling

Sometimes I remember that being single truly makes me smile

It’s knowing I can go and do whatever my crazy schedule allows

And that I’m growing

That I’m becoming the me I need to be

For myself

And that it’s a process

It takes time to be that caterpillar

To become that butterfly

To form those wings with their own intricate design

And when ready, to share that out for the world to see

The beauty and uniqueness in all of us

Until that time, I’ll be single and smiling
