The Life She Curated

She began treating her life like a composition—
letting go of what dimmed her, amplifying what made her feel alive.

She studied her days the way a filmmaker studies light,
noticing what sharpened her spirit
and what pulled her out of focus.

She rearranged her hours like scenes in a film,
moving some to the cutting room floor,
bringing others into the glow of center frame.
Shifting angles.
Rewriting dialogue.
Choosing herself as the protagonist
instead of the afterthought.

She stopped waiting for permission to feel joy
and let beauty guide her—
not as decoration,
but as direction.

Every choice became a brushstroke.
Every boundary, a line of clarity.
Every moment of honesty,
a note that pulled the whole story into harmony.

And slowly, she became the author of her own life—
creating something that didn’t just look beautiful,
but felt true.
