I never chose this path in my life..
It chose me.
I didn’t set out to be strong, I just wanted to be happy..
I ended up getting strong in the process.
The twists and the turns, the failures and falls, they all tried to bring me down.
I smiled as life tried to consume me in the fire of struggle..for it knew, my warrior heart ❤️ was forging in the flames.
I wasn’t a survivor, I was a fighter. I am a fighter!
Truthfully, I only had two choices- rise up & rise above or plummet to rock bottom.
Strong women don’t know how to quit, it’s not in my genes.
I may have started this life bright eyed and innocent, but I’ve emerged a fiery Phoenix, able to overcome anything.
People have & will compliment my courageous and never-say- I can’t attitude, because they don’t know the price I’ve paid to become the person I am.
So many hard nights crying tears, wondering why life was so mean to me!
The challenging days when everything went wrong..they’ll never know my journey as no two people are the same, we’re unique! But it made me stronger, wiser and better..
I did everything for myself, because I had dreams to chase and goals to attain, and I knew no one could get me there but me.
I’ve picked myself up countless times, had my heart broken too often, but I always found my way..with the help of my FAITH
eventually, I even found myself and self love along the way.
That thing called love?
Well I have plenty of it for myself and my people, I’m fine with my life staying that way if that’s how it ends up.
I built high walls around my heart after all the bad choices that led to heartbreak, so I’m in no hurry to find true love.
If love does come calling, great, but it will have to be on my terms.
I’ll never settle, sacrifice or compromise myself or my principles.
To the right one, I won’t have to explain who I am…..they’ll just know.
So, until that person shows up, I’m going to keep flying high and loving life..
I’ve paid dearly to become who I am, so I’m living every day to its fullest and chasing the things that fill my soul.
Maybe I’m not perfect, but I’m not trying to always be better than I was yesterday, I’ll leave “PERFECT” for all the fake people following ridiculous trends just to be like everyone else.
I’m perfectly imperfect in my own beautiful unique way. And you know what?
I’d rather be happy than perfect.
So that’s just what I’ll be. Happy until I hear my name being called from above, then I’ll even be happier 🙏❤️🙏
Here on earth, it’s my way, my style, my choices..
That’s what strong women do..
And that’s what I’ll always be,
Strong, Proud and Unstoppable!
