I have been on a 𝙹 𝙾 𝚄 𝚁 𝙽 𝙴 𝚈 with this woman… it’s been one wild ride.

I have allowed her to be broken.
I have allowed others to treat her disrespectfully.
I have allowed her to run through brick walls and battle for others who won’t even stand for her.

I couldn’t stop others from abandoning her,
but I’ve seen her stand up and be a light for the world, and love others despite all that.

I have stood paralyzed by fear while she fought battles in her mind, heart, and soul.

This woman has screwed up many times as a partner, daughter and a friend because she didn’t think she was worthy of self love or the love of others.

She has a smart mouth, a stubborn streak,
and she has secrets. She has scars because she has a history.

Some people love this woman, some like her, and some don’t care for her at all…
But most importantly she loves herself.

She has done good in her life, and she has not done so good in her life.

Every mistake, failure, trial, disappointment, success, joy, and achievement has made her into who she is today.

She is passionate and sometimes she is scatter-brained. She will no longer pretend to be who she is not. She will make no apologies for who she is.

This woman is a 𝚆𝙰𝚁𝚁𝙸𝙾𝚁. She’s not perfect, but she has a lot of 𝚆𝙾𝚁𝚃𝙷.

She is unstoppable, gracefully broken,
but beautifully standing.

She is 𝙻𝙾𝚅𝙴.
She is 𝙻𝙸𝙵𝙴.
She is 𝚃𝚁𝙰𝙽𝚂𝙵𝙾𝚁𝙼𝙰𝚃𝙸𝙾𝙽.
She is 𝙶𝚁𝙰𝙲𝙴.
She is 𝙱𝚁𝙰𝚅𝙴.

… and she will never stop learning or moving forward…

she is me ……. 💛
