“Born From the Ashes and Rising as I was Created to Do.
This journey broke me open.
Not just my smile
but the parts of me I kept hidden,
the parts that learned to survive
without ever believing they deserved beauty.
And yet… here I stand.
Still rising.
Still healing.
Still learning that I am worthy of love.
To Exodus Cry
you didn’t just offer support,
you offered unconditional love.
You reached into the chaos of my story
and said, ‘You matter. Your healing matters, you're loved.’
Your belief in me
became the rope I held onto when I became tired,
when the old wounds and old voices tried to pull hard to tear me apart. You showed me I was worthy, that I mattered…”
