As I sat in the darkness, surrounded by the shattered pieces of my past, I felt the weight of my scars bearing down on me. The fears that had held me captive for so long seemed to whisper in my ear, 'You're not enough. You're not worthy.' But then I remembered the words that had become my Mantra

I am stronger than my scars. I am braver than my fears...


With newfound determination, I began to pick up the pieces of my life, one by one. I started to see the beauty in my brokenness - the strength in my resilience, the power in my vulnerability. And as I rose from the ashes, I knew I wasn't alone. I saw the same beauty in the faces of those around me, the same strength in their stories.


Broken yet unbroken, we rose - a phoenix from the ashes.


I need you to believe that your scars are not weaknesses, but proof of your strength. Don't be afraid to share your story, because it's in the sharing that you'll find healing and connection. You are braver than you think, kinder than you know, and worthy of love beyond measure.


Keep rising, even when the darkness tries to hold you back. Your brokenness is not the end of your story - it's a chapter in the journey to your triumph. And when you feel like you can't go on, remember that you're not alone. We're all in this together, lifting each other up and celebrating our shared humanity.


You got this, Keep shining, keep rising, and know that you are loved and worthy, no matter what.
