“Wait till you see what I do with pain.” Words by @amyturnsharp. The last four years, I’ve made an intention, a habit, of turning pain into power. Using it for good to rebuild and come back to myself. Somewhere through life and my experiences, I became lost and believed what everyone else said about how I should live my life. But now, I’m unwilling to live this one life, my life, according to everyone else’s ideals and rules. I will design it, create it and truly LIVE it, based on my own desires and ideas. Along the way, I will make choices that won’t please others, but they will be true to me. Along the way, I’ll discover I’m too much, or not enough, for others. But I will be enough for me. And really, that is the goal, isn’t it? To write the story of your own life. To be the author, the one holding the pen, in hopes you write the story you always wanted, but more importantly, always needed. And perhaps, somewhere in the process, you will inspire others to do so too. Pick up your pen...
