Realization

Last night I took a shower and combed my hair in front of the mirror.

After 16 days of giving birth

After losing all of the babyweight

After weeks of sleep deprivation

After months of creating a human being in my body


So yeah, it was a little dark, and the girdle might have helped

but I looked in the mirror and combed my long hair
which desperately needs a cut

and I realized

I can't remember the last time I looked so young.
