Sometimes people forget that I am more than just a pretty face. I have mutiple college degrees and I have even more college education beyond the degrees. I have had the privilege of having a hand in saving so many lives, and I am still in the beginning of my career. I love being able to help calm someone down when they are in crisis, or help ease their pain. I try to distract their minds and not let them dwell on their illness, i try to help qualm their fears about dying. I am not a hero I just genuinely care and love to help others.
Sometimes people forget that I have been through my own hell on earth. Sometimes I choose not to tell them. I try not to go into detail or keep bringing it up because it is painful to drag the darkness out into the light. I have been through things no human should have to endure, things most will never know. I have been held captive in the dark by other "humans" yet I choose to see the light. I have known and been with monsters yet I can still trust and believe in the good in other human souls. I have been through the worst yet I still laugh and smile, and I believe the best is yet to come. I try to forget the past and look brightly toward the future while living in the present.
Sometimes people forget that I am a single mom trying to do it all on my own. I am a provider and protector and fixer of things. I am not perfect but no one is. I try my best and thats all I can do. I am strong, fierce, bold and independent. I was raised to be a warrior, a fighter and survivor. I am a phoenix who has risen from the ashes. I am building my empire from the ground up. I am thriving in the chaos of this world, and there is no limit to the sky in this grounded life.
Sometimes people forget that humans are amazing resilient creatures. Our souls march on when our hearts may be heavy and our feet may be tired. Our minds triumph and our hearts prevail through the sludge of monotony. Life is good and bright when we shine our own lights from within.
