She Builds Again

A Journey of Growth Through Pain

By Annie Edwards Published about a year ago Updated 9 months ago 1 min read

Then suddenly,

life as she knew it came crashing down before her…

in jagged fragments, boulders in a landslide.

So, she waited for the dust to settle.

Then, with the utmost care, she collected the debris, as

one person’s trash can also be their treasure.

And then, she used those pieces

to build again.

Because suddenly,

she realized that the emptiness that plagued her

was merely making room for the magic to be discovered.

And then life felt a little different…

She felt a little different…

And the domino effect began…

✨ It is when she learned to glow in her own darkness that she became the glimmer of hope she had been searching for.✨
