THANK YOU by Tahlia Hunter

"THANK YOU"
by Tahlia Hunter

And if you were to come

face to face

with your future self,

I imagine that they would

wrap you in a warm embrace

and whisper the following words to you:

"Thank you for the mistakes you made,

so that I could discover what it means to be wise.

Thank you for the moments of doubt you faced,

so that I could discover what it means to have faith.

Thank you for the wrong roads you took,

so that I could discover what it means to find my way.

Thank you for the grudges you held,

so that I could discover what it means to forgive.

Thank you for the masks you wore,

so that I could discover what it means to be authentic.

Thank you for the moments you took for granted,

so that I could discover what it means to be grateful.

Thank you for the pride you displayed,

so that I could discover what it means to be humble.

Thank you for the times you were judgemental,

so that I could discover what it means to be accepting.

Thank you for the fears you faced,

so that I could discover what it means to be brave.

Thank you for the conflicts you navigated,

so that I could discover what it means to find harmony.

Thank you for the storms you weathered,

so that I could discover what it means to be strong.

And thank you for the rejections you faced,

so that I could discover what it means to truly love,

not only others, but myself,

and life itself.

I look back on you

not with shame,

but with pride and admiration

for without you

I would not be who I am today."
