PUBERTY

We went to Miami Beach the year I turned fourteen.

My first trip to the sea.

I had never seen such a great expanse of water.

The rush of waves crashing against the shore quenched my thirsty ears.

Ultimate peace.

However…

Hormones raged.

Everything went wrong that summer. I didn’t have a Twiggy figure.

My curly hair required constant ironing.

I hated myself and everyone around me.

As the years passed

I worked diligently to make peace with myself.

Water will always be my solace.

Looking back,

I ask myself, if I had it to do over again, would I?
