finding her strength when being strong became her only option.
She realized that real strength isn’t about how long you can hold out before breaking..
It’s about how much you can overcome after you have already broken.
When she stopped defining her happiness through the eyes of others,
When she discovered that being someone’s “something” just wasn’t enough anymore,
That’s when she began to truly awaken.
She ceased being a spark and started becoming a fire.
She realized that burning with passionate intensity and self satisfaction completed her in a way that another person never could.
She had to love herself before she could truly love another.
Meaningful silence meant more to her than meaningless words,
And she learned to listen to her soul and follow her heart.
She made mistakes, stumbled and fell, but knew that growth takes time.
Even the brightest diamonds are formed under intense pressure, and not quickly.
That’s when she realized how brightly she could shine within herself.
She found a strength that she never knew she possessed in places she never knew to look.
Life, love and respect were no longer about being perfect and accepted.
She was imperfectly beautiful in all the ways she loved,
Wonderfully flawed and uniquely chaotic,
She learned to thrive on her mistakes and evolve from her failures.
Becoming her own “everything” empowered her to continually improve and become more.
She didn’t need anyone or anything to realize her dreams and find her happiness,
Her heart and soul were wild and free.
She found herself, and more than that,
She discovered her authentic and visceral truth.
No one could ever take that away from her, her hopes, her fears, her heart:
It made her who she was and she wouldn’t change anything about who she was or anywhere she’d been.
She had no more interest in the flawless people any more.
The ones that burned her bridges only illuminated the way for her to a better place.
She surrounded herself with the souls that understood and accepted her for all of her flawed beauty and disastrous ways.
Give her the cracked souls that meshed perfectly with her broken pieces.
Her dream never came with an expiration.
She smiled because she knew...
All her broken roads led her exactly where she was always meant to be.
She’d found her way home..
And came to love herself in the process.
