There’s a common expression I remind myself of every day: that which does not kill us, makes us stronger.
People think I live an idyllic life with my perfect husband, but they don’t know what lies beneath the façade.
Like the delicate petals of the daisies he loved to give, I was easily crushed—broken, just as he wanted me to be.
I’ve learned to accept what is, but I won’t let it destroy me.
Instead, I do the only thing I can to survive—I run.

I knew she had a story. I knew it most likely contained violence.
But never did I imagine the horrors she’d been through.
I’d waited so long and she’d experienced so much.
She was perfectly imperfect, her scars more than skin deep.
I couldn’t help wanting to get closer.
She was strong and there was beauty in strength.
I was drawn to it—drawn to her.
I wanted to erase her horrors and give her something new to dream about.
