Vows
Vows are often associated with marriage. But how often do we write vows to ourselves? Do it. Write yourself a vow as short or long as you'd like. This is your promise to yourself that you can someday renew if you'd like or reiterate to the end of time. What do you promise yourself? It's a democracy this time. Tag me if you want me to read/react. I've left a link to a sample in an entry to the challenge. Have fun :)

my vow
i vow
that the next time i gaze into the mirror
i will not avert my eyes
i will examine every flaw
every blemish
every imperfection
and i will remember
the path i took to get here
for the scars
both inside and out
they show my struggles
they are a road map to my destination
and they shall not be forgotten
for they show where i went wrong
and i refuse to struggle again
so i vow
that when i see myself
complete with all my flaws
i will stare back
and smile
for this is my body
and this is who i am
and i cannot change that
will not change that
for anyone
