My Alienbees Flash was used here, I miss that. *I plan on getting a new one eventually, when I feel like it's the right 'time'.. Right now, I really wouldn't be using it too much, right now- so it's not super important.

HIDDEN BEAUTY.
What if... a question that we often ask ourselves about the past. 
- What if I would have left?    
...The reality is I didn't. So, there's that.
 What if I realized my worth, back then?
 
Well.. I didn't, so there's that.

 
~There is a lot of what if's that I could ponder on, all day.. and drive myself crazy.  But I won't, because I've already done that.. and it just hurts.  
 
However, if I would have done all of that.. Who knows what would have happened.. but I do know that I wouldn't be who I am today.. Because I wouldn't have subjected myself to all of that pain.. and learned from it.  I wouldn't have experienced what I did.. to make me stronger, wiser & more confident in who I am today..  

I did a lot.  
I went thru a lot.
I have had so much pain.
But, I'm finding myself.
Building up myself.
And finding true happiness, within myself.
Because,  I forgave myself.  

& Today, I am trying to find that hidden beauty that I've buried so deep over the years.. and forgot.  I'm finally going to exhale.. and stop holding my breath.  

I'm finally doing to live.
& No body can ever stop me.. or take away who I am.. ever again.

Because I've found that hidden beauty within myself.  I've found the girl that I always longed to be.  I've found happiness.  I've found forgiveness.  & I am going to breathe.  Finally..
& It's beautiful.
