Forever Stained

Sometimes life happens to you. You get beat down, thrown around, and trampled on. It is hard to remember how to get up and brush yourself off. Some days it is hard to remember your past may have built you, but that is not all that you are. You are not some broken young girl left for dead in this world. You are the version of you that survives everyday. You are the version of you that looks for the sunshine in the rain. Just because you are broken, does not mean you are not beautiful. Everyone has a story to tell, what has made them who they are. Most of their story, the things that have built them or sculpted them, get shoved in the very back of their darkest closet, hidden to everyone but themselves forever. These are my skeletons, here is my closet.

Everyone goes through so much in life, we focus on the good or the bad, and often forget to look at the big picture. This book covers a lot of the things I do not like to share or talk about. Some of those things made me who I am though. I have been able to be so many different versions of myself as I grew and left things in the past. I have been in Law Enforcement, I have worked in retail, I have written, I have trained. Life is not one snippet to be put into a short bio, life is messy and fun, sometimes sad and terrifying. As you grow, so does the life you create. The only person capable of changing your situation is yourself. So, I could go on and on about myself, but I would rather you reflect on how my story makes you feel or relates to you. Then I want you to take that and decide, how do you move forward in your own life?
