Bloom is a story of love, heart ache, and seeing myself clearly in the mirror that love can provide. Love can be beautiful and gut wrenching at the same time, but most importantly it can show you things about yourself that you couldn’t see before. Bloom is about growing inner strength and love for myself. Writing this has been the experience of planting seeds of self love, watering those seeds, seeing some of the plants die, replanting, and working toward a blossoming inner world, a blooming inner peace, a deep love for myself that doesn’t rely on anyone else for validation.
