She learned the hard way she couldn’t depend on anyone else.
She’d fought the hard battles, been knocked down more times than she could count and somehow, she always managed to find a way to survive.
Help?
Backup ?
Someone to rescue her?
I never had any of those things, so i stopped hoping for a knight in shining armor and started looking for my sword.
I didn’t need to be saved, rescued or fixed.. I just needed to do what I did best- keep going , keep smiling and keep rising.
It wasn’t easy- there were so many days that i wanted to quit, throw in the towel and give up..
But that is not who I am or ever would be.
My strength and courage was forged in those same fires that once tried to burn me down.
Not only did i emerge from the flames scarred but stronger, but I also learned a resilience that an easy path would have never taught me.r
I remind myself often that I am strong because of the challenges, that I could overcome anything if i just kept fighting..
So i did with great passion with an unapologetic thirst for love and truth.
Through the heartbreaks, the disappointments, even the sadness from saying goodbye to people.
The ones meant for me would always find a way to stay in my life, so i learned to let the others go and hold my people tightly.
And love?
I just smile at the men full of ego and bravado and move on.
They weren’t there for me- they just sought to boost their own egos.
I wait for the one who would be there, without expectation or demand, equal and loving..who knew I needed someone to run beside me, not try to tame me..to enjoy my wild to set my spirit free..to swoon over my abandonment before him, unleashing my exotic.
Because I don't need a man to make me whole…I am already happy and complete, just the way I am.
And anyone that wanted to win my heart?
They don't need to bring a sword, armor or glorious words..
They just needed to be real and accepting, to have the same honour in truth as I Carry.
I am my own hero
A maiden forged in the flames and strong enough to stand alone.
I smile,
Until I find the one strong enough to stand beside me,
keep living life fully, loving my people passionately and rising high like i was meant to do.
And in the end, that’s what mattered most.
My happily ever after started the way it was supposed to..
With me.
Strong, fierce and free.
Blessings 💜💜💜
