She took a deep breath, closed her eyes and felt herself begin to open her heart to a world that she had tried so long to stay out of. Living her life in fear and despair, she wasn't sure what she would find once she let go of it all. She could feel her heart begin to shed. She cried so many tears and screamed so many words and when she finally caught her breath again she walked to the mirror. All the baggage and bullshit tearing her heart apart was gone. Her heart stitched itself back together and the smile that was normally forced formed across her face with no push or shove. A world that was stuck in black and white began flashing by her in color.
"I can now look at myself in the mirror and not hate me. I can put my hand over my heart and say that I am content in who I am and where I am. Not everyone can experience that and I am just so thankful that I've reached the point where I can."
Proud of you.
