The Path. 🥾

 She had finally started to realize that every happily ever after wasn’t the same for everyone.

She was sure that some fairy tales involved glass slippers and white picket fences, but that was never her path.

She was a strong willed, feisty and headstrong woman that didn’t just accept whatever life gave her..

No, she wasn’t okay with anything less than what she knew she deserved.

She was worth the best and would spare nothing to get what she wanted.

It might mean strapping on some boots, putting in some work and fighting for what she wanted, but if that’s what it took, so be it, she was willing to pay the price for her dreams.

Her path had never been an easy one, and she thrived under the pressure of challenges.

She saw the magical stories of true love, romance and Prince Charming and shook her head.

Who did that ever happen to, anyways?

She wasn’t holding out for a hero, she was the heroine of her own story..

She made her own magic and created her own opportunities and no man would change anything about who she was.

She didn’t need to be saved, fixed or changed..she loved her flaws and imperfections, right down to all of her jagged edges and curvy beauty.

No, she was used to fighting for what she wanted- nothing she wanted ever came easy, and she knew love would be no exception.

She didn’t seek the spotlight, because she shined from within..her scars told the story of her ability to overcome every fire that had tried to bring her down

And she was still standing strong, ready for the next disaster or terrible day.

She didn’t expect life to be all rainbows and sunshine but welcomed the beautiful parts of life with open arms when it showed up.

She would never find her worth in another person- she would find it within herself and then the person worthy of her love would show up when the time was right.

So, she continued to do what warriors do..

She fought-

For her life, for her dreams, and even for love, if necessary.

Forget the stories about glass slippers and fairy tale endings..

Her story was one of a kind.

She was both the beauty and the beast..

And she wouldn’t have it any other way.
