Beauty in pain

Life has taken so much from me

and I've had days where I'm left with nothing but scars on my heart and an emptiness in my soul

Life has broken me into a million pieces....

But for as much as it's taken, it's also given me so much more

My strength is stemmed from a past filled with grief & loss

My confidence is rooted from all the times someone tried to make me think I was anything less than what I am - beautiful.

and you'll always see me smiling because I know the good times don't last forever,

so why not enjoy them as they come?

Breaking has taught me the beauty in healing

the beauty of bending and folding

just to come together again

There is beauty in the way we experience sadness so that we're able to cherish the bliss of joy a little more

Have everything fall apart in order to appreciate the moments when it all comes back together

Go through heartache to understand the true meaning of love

Lose ourselves just to find out who we are meant to be.

I whole heartedly admire how much us humans are capable of enduring

just to grow

how we can wilt then

bloom again

So be gentle with your healing

you'll come home again,

I promise
