My ears are picking up everything going on around me. The opening and closing of stalls and room doors, the restless tossing from the other twin bed, the low hum of the space heater near the window.

Is that womanhood of mine manifesting again? Is my spirit testing my growth by my ears?

I think the gap between the child and the woman is closing.

Everyday there's a new test and everyday I feel like I'm closer to passing them with a little more ease.
