She’s the one that men don’t know what to do with..

They’re attracted to her beauty and dazzled by her persona, but as they draw closer, most realize that she’s anything but ordinary.

They fancy themselves able to handle the toughest women and think they enjoy the challenge of a strong woman..

Until they realize that’s she just too much for them..

Too much passion, too much ferocity, too much wit and more strength than they’ve encountered before.

She’ll just smile knowingly and keep on with her day- she’s all too familiar with the men who fancy that they can tame any woman..

But then, none of those men have met a woman like her before..

And chances are, she’ll be long gone before they even realize what to do or say to a woman like her.

She’s not for faint of heart, lackluster lovers and weak minded suitors.

She loves fiercely and lives bravely, unafraid to rise to any challenge and brashly vocal about what she expects from the people in her life.

She wasn’t always this way- she had to forge her strength as so many do- through the fires of struggle and the broken roads of lost love..

So she learned.

She evolved.

And she grew strong enough to never need anyone..even a man.

She’d always welcome the right one, but she would never again think she needed one.

She took the pieces from every broken road and put herself back together again wiser, better and stronger than before.

So, when the playboys and egotistical men sauntered up to her door, thinking they can tame her wild heart and control her fiery passion, she just shook her head and laughed quietly.

What they never seem to understand is that matters of the heart aren’t a game or a challenge to her.

They’re the vulnerability of deep connection, soul depth and passionate intimacy.

She won’t accept less than the best and she’ll never have time for the nonsense and tomfoolery of grown men playing boys’ games.

One day, she muses, one might show up that gets it..and her.

But she doesn’t fixate on that, because she has a full life and a beautiful journey to enjoy.

She doesn’t need someone else to complete, fix or save her..

Though she knows that sooner or later, she’ll find the right person to share her journey.

But she learned long ago the difference between want and need..

And the only needs she has is to live her best life, love her people devotedly and to keep becoming the best version of herself.

Maybe her story won’t be the typical happily ever after or cowboy riding off into the sunset, but it will be tale of a strong woman determined to live her life the way she wants.

Maybe it’ll have true love, maybe it won’t.

But what it will always have..

Is her happiness, just the way she chooses-

One moment, one day, one beautiful chapter at a time..

Just the way she wants it to be.
