The girl I used to be...

So ₛₘₐₗₗ.

She never knew the 𝕤𝕥𝕠𝕣𝕞𝕤 we'd fight...

⛈️

She never dreamed we'd stand

this ᴛᴀʟʟ.

or how our soul would 🔥burn🔥 this bright.

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

We walked through ⚔️ trials ⚔️.

Faced the flame. 🔥

It humbled me and 𝔠𝔥𝔞𝔫𝔤𝔢𝔡 my view...

My life will never be

the same.

Through all the 🌪️storms🌪️ I rose and grew.

🌱🌿🌳🌱🌿🌳🌱🌿🌳🌱🌿🌳🌱🌿🌳

I'm proud of her for pressing on

and now... I stand.

My spirit... 🦋 𝔣𝔯𝔢𝔢 🦋

I found 𝕤𝕥𝕣𝕖𝕟𝕘𝕥𝕙 when hope was gone.

Proud of the woman

who 🥀 𝓻𝓸𝓼𝓮🌹 in me.

🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
