I write this with a smile on my beautiful face, knowing that I am who I say I am. The last few years have been a rollercoaster of so many things—a cocktail of so much that words cannot describe.
Through it all, I have found that you get rewards for doing the work and for living in the moment, even though some hurt like hell.
Today I write about this smile—my beautiful smile that radiates joy, peace, and calm. I look at my life with so much honor because this is my crown, this is my win, and this is my today.
Darkness doesn’t scare me anymore because I have been down to the darkest of places I didn’t know I could come back from. Look at the light shining on my face. I rose above the darkness.
I have been down the tunnels of pain, disappointments, and hurt like you can’t imagine. None of that scares me anymore because I have rose above it all.
Today I smile because I let myself break the pieces of my choices. I owned my story, each consequence at a time. While the process sucked the life out of me, the end brought light literally and figuratively.
I am the girl that loves wholeheartedly. I love loudly and with no apologies. You would think the number of times my heart has been broken I would stop, but no. I am in love again, and no, I make no apologies for it. I will love loudly. I will love with the whole of my heart because this is who I am. I will go all the way, for this is who I am.
I will be intentional about everything because that’s what gives me peace. I will walk the journey of joy and hold my head up through it all.The days that the sun rises, I will smile, for I have earned the right to conquer each day. The days that the sun sets, I will smile because I can. The things that bring chaos, I will say no and walk away. The people that bring so much negative energy I will away for that part of me do not exist anymore.
This crown of mine, I will wear it with pride; this love of mine, I will honor it with peace. I have done the work, and I get to take pride in the results. This is my today,this peace is my Masterpiece.This season is called This I Prayed For.
