Rising Above Pain

Once upon a time, there was a woman who fell deeply in love with a man who showered her with affection and made her feel like a queen. She never imagined that he could be counted among the cheats of the world. Blissfully unaware, she continued to believe in their love, hoping that it would withstand any storm. However, as time went on, the man changed. His sweet words turned bitter, and he started bringing other women into their home. Despite the heartache, she clung to her love for him, with abundant forgiveness for his acts she continued longing to see him return to the man she once known. One fateful day, he lashed out at her, viciously declaring that she was nothing without him. His hurtful words echoed in her mind, searing into her heart. Though her happiness faded, she held onto the unwavering belief that one day he would recognize her worth and treat her with respect. Unable to see her own value, she became her own worst enemy. Struggling to break free from the hold he had over her, she found herself caught in the midst of a conference call between him, herself, and another woman. In this painful moment, he callously remarked that he had been urging her to leave him alone, but she stubbornly clung to him. Tears stained her cheeks as she absorbed every hurtful word, yet she remained trapped in the toxic cycle, hoping for change. Days turned into months, and her unhappiness grew.

With newfound determination, she whispered the empowering words to herself, "I am beautiful and fearfully made. I am smart and more than enough." Those words became her mantra, fueling her journey towards self-love and acceptance. Those simple words sparked a revolution within her. She began to rebuild herself, brick by brick, mending the shattered fragments of her soul. She let go of the toxic relationship, and as she walked away, she carried with her a newfound confidence.
