About Me

I do not Define Myself

I do not define myself by how many roadblocks have appeared in my path

I define myself by courage I've found to forge new roads

I do not define myself by how many disappointment I've faced

I define myself by the forgiveness and the faith I have found to begin again.

I do not define myself by how long a relationship lasted

I define myself by how much I have loved, and been willing to love again

I do not define myself by how many times I have been knocked down

I define myself by how many times I have struggled to my feet.

I am not my pain

I am not my past

I am that which has emerged from the fire.

I am proud of my heart

It's been played, stabbed, cheated, burned and broken

But somehow still works.
