When I first wrote this poem, It was originally a story called "The Sands of Time". It was supposed to be about a beautiful vase that kept getting dropped until it turned into sand but even when it was sand, it never stopped believing that it was a beautiful vase. But now I changed the title and the story. What inspired the change was that someone I really cared about didn't feel as beautiful as they "used to be" and somebody else made them feel worse by saying something they shouldn't have. I for one think that they look beautiful and I hope they know that they're loved then, now, and later. I solemnly believe that when someone genuinely cares about you, they'll appreciate you at your best and your worst. The cover photo was Generated by AI(ChatON)
