I can’t say I’ve led the easiest of lives, but then I know now that everything happens for a reason and I ended up exactly where I was supposed to be.

I’ve had my fair shares of heartaches, lost friends and mistakes made along the way..

Even when I was trying my best to do right by everyone in my life.

Sometimes, though, life doesn’t give you what you want, but rather, what you need instead.

I used to hope for an easier path and tell myself that I couldn’t handle the hard stuff..

But I always seemed to find a way through it all- I just called it luck though I knew I had battled and struggled for everything I’ve gotten.

I didn’t have a silver spoon or a lot of people to fall back on- no, I learned I had to depend on myself to get me where I needed to be.

No one could help me get where I was going and there’s no remedy for a broken heart.

Love that walked away, tore me in two and beat me down lower than I thought I could go- but that was never love..

It was something much darker and twisted, but I always managed to recover and come back stronger.

I never realized all the emotional loss that I had endured in my life was doing more than helping me learn..

It was making me more resilient.

Those scars from lost love and broken hearts hurt so badly for so long- I thought many would be the end of me..but they never were.

Once I got past the pain and found my way back to myself time and again, my heart not only recovered..

It came back armor plated.

Not because I ever intended on becoming anything, but that’s just what happens when you get hurt a lot..

You learn to put your shattered parts back together again and each time you have to do that, you put the pieces back a little bit better and tougher.

So, maybe I’m not an open book or the easiest person to understand, but I’ll always love with all my heart when there’s love to be had..

No amount of heartache and bad romances can change who I am..

I’m just stronger, wiser and better because of the pain that I turned into power.

It’s no longer my master, I alone control my life and my fate.

Maybe I don’t know what’s coming tomorrow or how I’ll get to where I want to be, but one thing is for certain:

I’m strong enough.

I’m tough enough.

And I’ll always be good enough.

Just a courageous soul with deep emotions and a strong heart.

Sometimes..the strongest hearts have the deepest scars.

I’m definitely no exception.
