I am often asked what made me the way I am. And my answer is always this: I've always been me. It just took awhile to find me under all the rubble.

I am vulnerability under scarred skin. Numbness crawling behind wine soaked lips. A cocoon of grief battling a chest full of hushed breaths, longing to escape the hodgepodge of memories, that journal where I've been.

I don't compete against other women. To uplift others means I'm never looking down on them. I applaud their strength, and I remind them that we never know how strong we are until we are tested. And this life will test you... But it's not a competition. I want us all to make it.

I don't expect you to fight over me... But I do expect you to fight for me... for us.

... I don't know what I feel anymore, or maybe it's that I don't know HOW to feel anymore. I question every move I make, every breath I take, and every flutter of an eyelash. Furthermore, I've developed a twitch from always being on guard. Furthermore, I'm alert at night, and numb during the day, but I'm always ready. Maybe, I can intercept tragedy from striking again.
