meant to be.

She’s survived others who could not contain her light—and she vowed she would never again look in the mirror and fail to recognize her own reflection.

So she will not dim her sparkle, her spirit, or her God-given glow to fit inside a story that could never rise to meet her.

And though a part of her once wondered what they might have been, she now understands that clarity is a kindness—

…some paths are meant to close so that she can keep becoming who she was always meant to be.
