You are not your pain. You are not your mistakes. You are not your childhood, your heartbreaks, or the people who couldn't love you right. You are what you chose to do with all of it.
Every habit you've picked up, every fear you carry, every wall you've built, it all came from somewhere. And while it makes sense that you learned to protect yourself the way you did, it's also okay to unlearn. To question. To shift. To grow. You're allowed to rewrite the story.
Just because life handed you broken pieces doesn't mean you can't build a masterpiece. So take your pain. Take your lessons. Take all the messy, raw, unfiltered parts of your journey, and turn them into power. Into wisdom. Into purpose.
The past shaped you. But you define you. Your story isn't over. You're just getting started.

My friend recently shared this writing with me. I felt it in my soul that so many of the words and phrases resonated with my life. The meaning behind the written word has so much depth, and added a level of clarity to my past and my present. And it positively affects where I am going in the future.
It is amazing to me how much I have learned from my past. It is the opportunity for me to reflect on what I did, and where I was at different stages of my life. Yet, while I know I can look back, I am also aware that remaining stagnant in the past can be unhealthy.

As I honor where I came from, I use this to mold where I am going. I can pick up the broken pieces and choose to make them into something beautiful. This will support everything that the future holds for me. It is so important to look ahead at what can be so precious as it unfolds in different ways.
I fear being stuck in the situations of my past. And, at the same time, I want to find a balance where I chose to not look too far ahead to where I am going in the future. And today, as I slipped my feet into my high heeled shoes, I remember all that I am and the woman I will look forward to becoming.
