Short, ash hair bleached and colored.

Big hazel-green eyes, long lashes protecting them.

Light-colored skin peppered with acne scars, bumps, and stretchmarks.

Lush curves, long waist, short legs, slightly asymmetrical body.

Soft yoga pants, colorful shirt, funky earrings, cool glasses, short socks, worn shoes.

Daughter, sister, stepdaughter, half-sister, stepsister, foster child, friend, best friend, partner.

Obsessive, compulsive, stubborn, blunt, anxious, bitchy, stressed, wounded, scarred, afraid.

***

Learning to embrace her emotions after years of suppressing them.

Balancing her need for social and alone time.

Mending the heart life has torn out and broken many times.

Pushing forward to her happiness one day at a time.

Terrified of being rejected by the people closest to her over the choices she must make.

Supported by the new people in her life who see her now as she continues becoming who she is meant to be.
