I feel that documenting your journey is important. It's a story that someone can relate to, be inspired by, and something no one can ever take away from you. The hard work, the blood, the tears that these two pictures have between them... that's my story. I was so great at looking you in the eye and making you believe that my life was great. When in reality my life was broken. I was broken. I was at my very edge and so close to giving up on myself. I was at the darkest point in my life. It was the hardest thing in the world to look at my self in the mirror, in the eye and love myself. Love myself unconditionally. I knew how to love, I knew how to give it, I knew I wanted it but I never accepted it because I never accepted the love that means the most... self love. The smiles between these two pictures brings me to tears because that self hate, that broken spirit, that crooked half smile was my crutch for so long. The smile I have today... man there really is no comparison. I love my life, I love the people in my life, I know how to love because I chose love for myself first. I finally said I WAS WORTH IT! Making a change is hard, keeping that change is hard but when your heart is in it that change can save your life. I challenge you to make a change, whatever it may be for you. Small change, big change, it's something and it can save your life someday! #YourNewBeginningStartsToday #NewBeginnings #InspireYourself #ChangeYourMindsetChangeYourLife #IWantToHelpYou #BelieveInYou #ItsUpToYou #InspireChange #Smile #BrighterThanEver #SometimesYouHaveToBreak #YouWillRiseUpStronger #Phoenix #RiseFromYourAshes #TransformationTuesday #TellYourStory
