Becoming…

She thought she had lost herself, but really she just needed to open her eyes.

She just needed to open her heart, and share her pain.

She just needed to write down her feelings, and then light them on fire.

She hadn't lost herself; in fact, she was becoming.

Braver.
Stronger.
Kinder.
Wiser.

Who she had been may have felt stripped away from her, but like a butterfly, she had to let go of who she was to become who she needed to be.

She wasn't lost.
She wasn't gone.
She had been here, all along, waiting for her time to shine. Becoming. Growing. Evolving.

And when she looked in the mirror and saw what others saw, she knew she had finally found herself.
