She’s never asked anyone to feel sorry for her- she’s strong in so many ways the world will never understand..

Not because she’s wanted to be strong, her life never gave her any other choice.

Her story is one like that of many others-

Of heartache and heartbreak, of loss and failure, of struggle and disappointment..

Except that she picked up the pieces so many times and just kept going.

She never wondered why her or asked for an easier journey..

She just kept climbing because that’s just who she is and the way she has always been.

She’ll never ask for a handout or help, she’s learned the hard way to depend on herself and expect nothing from anyone else.

People would often tell her how they admired her fortitude and loved her strength - she would just nod and smile warmly.

They don’t know the price she’s paid to be tough and the fire she has walked through to keep going sometimes.

The same fire that she had to become in order to survive the storms of her life.

She hasn’t had a day without struggle or had anything just given to her, for her life has never been easy..

But that’s why she appreciates everything so very deeply..

That’s why she feels the emotions and victories so much-

She’s endured the darkness for so long, the light is so much brighter each and every time she finds it.

She’s not the one to do anything halfway-

whether it be working hard, playing hard, or just loving with everything she has..

She never left anything unsaid, undone or untried.

It’s caused her more than one broken heart and countless sleepless nights, but that’s how she lives and loves- giving it her all.

But her journey of hard times and bad days makes her cherish the good times, the good people and the joys of love just that much more than most anyone else..

The emotions of love and passion are ingrained into her soul so very deeply..

Anyone that sees past her gritty facade and has the patience to take down her guarded walls realizes that she is one of the most amazing creatures that they will ever encounter ..

Whether they are friends or lovers, one peek, one touch, one moment and they know without any doubt that a woman like her is remarkably beautiful..

For the most broken women have the deepest love..

And hers is the deepest of all.
