♥ Transformation for me meant the death of my old self;
the habits, the patterns, the self doubt, the self loathing, morbidity, the addictions, the settling for a miserable existence because I didn't think that I deserved any better
And the birth of my new self; sees wonder and beauty in this world, lives life with the intention of love, doesn't need addictions or short term fixes to get through life, loves to make others smile.♥

♥ People who have survived abuse. ♥

♥ Anyone who feels inspired by me! ♥
