All around her, people remarked how very different she had become.
Gone was the meek and soft spoken girl, and in her place stood a strong, defiant woman.
Everyone was astounded at how much she’d changed, saying she wasn’t the same person she used to be.
She’d smile as she heard the whispers about her from the people that didn’t know what to make of her now.
She’d always known that people feared change and the things they didn’t understand..
And no one seemed to get why she chose to evolve like she had.
They’d scoff and say she was weak and trying to be like everyone else.
They’d rationalize and come up with countless reasons why she wasn’t the same woman she used to be..
But what none of them understood was that she hadn’t chosen to change like they called
it..
But her evolution was something completely different..more beautiful, more original.
Surely, she was a totally different person to everyone she once knew..but not for the reasons they thought..
She had done what so many of them had thought was impossible:
She was finally becoming the person that she was meant to be all along.
She’d fought, grown and evolved into a stronger, wiser and happier woman whose confidence shined to everyone around her.
She’d fallen, she’d struggled and she’d failed along the way..
But that wasn’t how her story was ever going to end.
No, those struggles didn’t define her, they forged her new path to greater heights and a stronger heart.
She didn’t need anyone’s approval or acceptance of the road she traveled, because she knew that she was exactly where she was meant to be.
It was her life to live and her dreams to chase.
She put away the claws that helped her climb out of the failures and found what she’d searched her whole life for:
Her wings.
It was her time to become everything she’d ever wanted.
She rose up and chose to fly high, breathe free and always seek the sunlight..
That’s who she was and where she was headed...for bigger, better things.
She smiled.
She had finally come home..
And knew anything was possible..
Because she believed-
In herself, her strength and her ability to do anything she set out to accomplish.
No, she was more than just different or original..
She was one of a kind…
And she is me.
