I’ve survived some pretty bad stuff in my life. things I never thought I would ever make it through. 
I clawed and I fought my way past all my failures, to reach deep down and discover the strength I didn’t know I had.
When I was on my knees facing this hell..that’s when I learned who I am and what I am capable of.
I was never defined by the mistakes I made, but by how stood up after falling.
It’s easy to love yourself when everything is going right and doors are opening all around you.. it’s quite a different experience when you’re at your lowest.
I learned who was there for me and most of all, that there is beauty in the scars of my story.
Every scratch, bump and bruise remind me where I’ve been and of the bridges I burned so that I would never go back to those places I should have never been in the first place.
I learned to celebrate my imperfections, for they described my broken beauty in a way that my words never could.
So, as I step out into today, you’ll see a smile on my face and a spring in my step.
I’ve come a long way in my life and I’m proud of the person I’m becoming.
It hasn’t been easy, it hasn’t been painless and it’s been really slow..
But I’ve learned from every mistake and still growing from every experience.
This is my story.
It’s a tale of disaster and failure, mistakes and then more failures ..
But it’s also a story ofa woman rising from the ashes, getting stronger and learning to love every scar of my broken beauty.
After all, they say the cracks are how the light gets in..
I’ve taken a vow to love myself and I'm doing this one day a time.
Yes I am Beautiful, broken, and wonderfully imperfect in all my ways, just the way I was meant to be.
