And though she be but little, she is fierce

This girl has been the angel, the devil, a pauper, has been loved, has been abused.

🖤This girl has laughed, has cried, has been hurt, has hurt herself.

🖤This girl has avoided and ignored pain, this girl has confronted her demons.

🖤This girl has felt her emotions were a complete curse and hated she felt so consumed by them and hated now deeply she felt.

🖤This girl hated crying, she felt it was a sign of weakness.

🖤This girl didn't love, cherish and respect it, she starved it, she starved her body to try and starve her body of life, of pain, to control the only thing she had control of.

🖤This girl over fed her body in an attempt to blot out her pain, her lack of love for herself, to numb and comfort herself.

🖤This girl gave away her time, her love and respect because she so dearly wanted to be accepted, loved and cherished. But she was never going to be as she hadn't learned to love or accept herself.

🖤This girl made fun of herself at the expense of her esteem, her feelings for a laugh or to feel like someone cared.

🖤This girl knew love, but a jealous kind of love.

🖤This girl craved a true soulful connection.

🖤This girl has one such connect on with a friend, but not one of romance.

🖤One day, after a long time of smiling through so much, not a smile that reached her eyes. These were smiles of clenched jaws and pursed lips. One day, she broke, her mind, body and soul said no more. We need more,it's time for change.

📷After month's the change came, she started to break the cycle, she broke the wheel. She stood on her own two feet, she claimed all that power back that she had so freely given away. She started to mend her mind, body and soul and her heart.

📷Through starting to understand herself, through time alone, through reflection, through long dark nights and meeting another soul she truly connected with, who understood her and all her weird curvy edges. Who felt her pain as much as she felt it.

📷This soul helped to remind her that she was the princess, the angel, the goddess,the devil, the trouble maker and the rebel all rolled into one. This was a relationship of friendship which grew and blossomed into so much more.

📷This girl grew into a free, empowered woman!

🖤But she soon reverted back to giving away her power again- she has not learned her lesson. So her mind, body and soul reminded her and broke her again.

🖤She had reverted back to the girl, she felt true weakness, she didn't see the point in her days and felt that there was little point in going on.

🖤She didn't want to take her life, but she didn't want to be alive any more. Every cell of her body was being filled with pain, regret, remorse and soon started to loathe and become angry. She didn't want that as that wasn't who she truly was.

📷‍♀She met two enlightened souls who opened up all that hurt and pain that was stored up. And the pain, the sorrow, regret flowed from her eyes, she breathed it out and started to release it.

📷This girl had taken the difficult road. But she hadn't taken the difficult road because she was weak.

📷This girl had taken the difficult road because she was strong. Strong enough to carry others. She had wings but she didn't know how to use them.

She decided to learn to fly. And boy oh boy, did she learn fast!

📷She healed, she took her past and instead of letting it continue to control and shape her, she used it.

📷She used it to help and say NO MORE! It's time to see the beauty in the broken parts and instead of being a broken window, become a stained glass window. Creating colour and a beautiful light for all to see.
