You know it!!! lol
I never chose this path in life.
It chose me.
I didnāt set out to become strong.
I just wanted to be happy.
Somewhere between the twists, the falls, the heartbreaks and the fires, strength found me anyway.
Life tried more than once to bring me to my knees.
It threw storms in my path and flames at my feet.
But every struggle only forged something fiercer inside me.
I wasnāt just surviving.
I was fighting.
I didnāt just walk through the fire.
I became it.
Truth is, I only ever had two choices.
Rise above it all or let it bury me.
And I was never built to stay down.
Maybe I began this life bright-eyed and innocent, but I rose from the ashes as something entirely different.
A phoenix with a warrior heart.
Stronger.
Wiser.
Unstoppable.
People may admire my courage and my refusal to quit, but they donāt know the price I paid to become this woman.
They didnāt see the nights I cried alone, wondering why life had to be so hard.
They didnāt feel the weight of the days when everything seemed to fall apart.
And they donāt have to.
This journey was mine.
I picked myself up because I had dreams to chase and goals to reach.
I knew no one could carry me there but me.
Iāve had my heart broken more times than I care to count.
Iāve lost my way more than once.
But every time, I found the road back.
Eventually, I found myself too.
And with that came a love I should have given myself long ago.
As for love?
I have plenty for myself and the people who matter.
If true love finds me, it will have to meet me on my terms.
I wonāt settle.
I wonāt shrink.
And I wonāt compromise my principles for anyone.
The right one wonāt need me to explain who I am.
Theyāll already know.
Until then, Iāll keep flying high and living fully.
I paid dearly to become this woman, and I intend to enjoy every moment of her.
Iām not perfect.
Iām not trying to be.
Iām perfectly imperfect in my own wild, beautiful way.
And honestly?
Iād rather be happy than flawless.
My life.
My way.
My choices.
Strong.
Proud.
Unstoppable.
Thatās who I am.
And thatās who Iāll always be.
