She’s been through more than anyone will ever know and she’s okay with that.
The heartbreaks, the pain and the struggle left her in pieces so often she learned who she was in those hard times.
Every time she fell apart, she put the pieces of herself back together again, stronger and better than before.
She never had a choice on who she became or the path she walked..
It chose her instead.
But she never complained or dwelled about the battles she had to fight or the pain she endured..
She kept going, kept looking up and kept turning the page and starting again.
Maybe she wasn’t the strongest person when she started, but she figured it out along the way.
She found her strength in the struggle, her courage in the chaos and her wings in the storm.
It wasn’t that the days got easier, it’s that she grew stronger, wiser and more determined.
She stopped asking for less obstacles and started building herself to be stronger.
But to meet her, you’d never know the tempest that raged behind her eyes..
She effervesced with a brightness that kept her hopes burning and her smile sparkling…
Because that’s how she kept it together sometimes.
She didn’t always feel like a ray of sunshine but no one ever knew that…
Her smile and eyes twinkled with the beautiful light of love and life, just the way she wanted.
Maybe she’d sneak away for a quick cry on the hard days, perhaps she’d scream when no one was around…
But she loved and lived her life with genuine passion and relentless optimism.
That’s how she kept going when she didn’t have it in her..
Closing her eyes, taking a deep breath and moving past the pain and turning the page to a new tomorrow.
Maybe she didn’t have all the answers or know what tomorrow held,
But she knew this:
Every day was a new chance to start again, smile and keep rising.
So that’s just what she did as she fought to become the best version of herself that she could be…
She would always be strong, happy and free.
