The girl I used to be...
So ₛₘₐₗₗ.
She never knew the 𝕤𝕥𝕠𝕣𝕞𝕤 we'd fight...
⛈️
She never dreamed we'd stand
this ᴛᴀʟʟ.
or how our soul would 🔥burn🔥 this bright.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
We walked through ⚔️ trials ⚔️.
Faced the flame. 🔥
It humbled me and 𝔠𝔥𝔞𝔫𝔤𝔢𝔡 my view...
My life will never be
the same.
Through all the 🌪️storms🌪️ I rose and grew.
🌱🌿🌳🌱🌿🌳🌱🌿🌳🌱🌿🌳🌱🌿🌳
I'm proud of her for pressing on
and now... I stand.
My spirit... 🦋 𝔣𝔯𝔢𝔢 🦋
I found 𝕤𝕥𝕣𝕖𝕟𝕘𝕥𝕙 when hope was gone.
Proud of the woman
who 🥀 𝓻𝓸𝓼𝓮🌹 in me.
🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

Off the Book
It ended like every other stupid idea. Badly, and alone. I’m researching digital confession ethics, he said. A tech ethicist. He gestured at floating data I couldn’t see then pulled out a physical notebook. Actual paper, fountain pen. He held it up like he was showing me scripture.

I love the effects of the words you wanted to highlight! This is such a creative artful piece 🖤 Empowering 🖤
Way to inspire yourself. Keep rising. Interchanging the characters is so unique. Artistic soul are you.
That dress looks so good on you. I wouldn't be surprised if you told me it was one of your favorites. The fonts and stylistic choices are great; they help the pauses land perfectly. "Through all the storms I rose and grew." This was so beautiful, it was stirring me to tears. "Who rose 🌹 in me" – I love what you did there by using the rose emoji as a visual pun for "rose." This was outstanding! 🤗❤️🖤
Wow! One of your absolute best 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I loved how you arranged the rhymes. It's like it gave it a new rhythm for a rhyming poem and it worked so well. I read it twice and the second time was even better!
This was extremely powerful! Loved your photo and poem!
Outstanding piece well done, so empowering and I really mean this will speak to so many out there. I felt such strong essence of female empowerment.
Way 2 go friend! Fuego! 🥳🔥💪🏾
