Making Me

We don't just 'become' who we are- we are shaped by places, people, experiences, beliefs.
At 30, I am only starting to be whole, solid. Someone who knows themself, or at least knows who they don't want to be. I have moved through my twenties with many mishaps, the biggest being my now-failed marriage of four years that created two of my three beautiful children. I struggled with who I was and who I was turning into. I struggled with who was in my life and wondered who should be in my life but wasn't.
Piece by piece I am putting my life together, putting me together- shaping me.
I am strong and settled. I am a woman in bloom.
