I never chose this path in my life..
It chose me.
I didnāt 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 that it was forging in the flames.
I wasnāt a survivor, I was a fighter.
I didnāt just walk through the fire, I became it.
Truthfully, I only had two choices- rise up and rise above or plummet to rock bottom.
Strong women donāt know how to quit, itās not in my genes.
I may have started this life bright eyed and innocent, but Iāve emerged a fiery Phoenix, able to overcome anything.
People will compliment my courageous and never-say- die attitude, because they donāt know the price Iāve paid to become the person I am.
The hard nights crying tears, wondering why life was so hard, the challenging days when everything went wrong..theyāll never know my journey to be stronger, wiser and better..
And they donāt have to.
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.
Iāve picked myself up countless times, had my heart broken too often, but I always found my way..
Eventually, I even found myself and self love along the way.
That thing called love?
I have plenty of it for myself and my people- Iām fine with my life staying that way if thatās how it ends up.
I built high walls around my heart after all the bad choices that led to heartbreak, so Iām in no hurry to find true love.
If love does come calling, great, but it will have to be on my terms.
Iāll never settle, sacrifice or compromise myself or my principles.
To the right one, I wonāt have to explain who I am..theyāll just know.
So, until that person shows up, Iām going to keep flying high and loving my life..
Iāve paid dearly to become who I am, so Iām living every day to its fullest and chasing the things that fill my soul.
Maybe Iām not perfect, but Iām not trying to be..Iāll leave that for all the fake people following ridiculous trends to be just like everyone else.
Iām perfectly imperfect in my own beautiful unique way.
And you know what?
Iād rather be happy than perfect.
So thatās just what Iāll be.
My way, my style, my choices..
Thatās what strong women do..
And thatās what Iāll always be.
Strong, proud and unstoppable.
