Once Upon a Time...

Once upon a time...
there was a woman who forgot who she was.
Handing over her power and voice, she backed into shrinking cages. Slowly and methodically overtime, cages shrinking until the shackles wrapped around her throat threatening to silence her forever.
.
And then one day she felt the echo of remembering. Despite all attempts to block the whispers, the reverberation of remembering stirred. As the echo grew louder, she began to breathe life into the curves of her soul that had been gasping for air. The echo grew until the words, shaking and uncertain, slipped through her lips uncontainable any longer.

.
Did she live happily ever after?
Nope. Not always.
She lived happy, heartbroken, peaceful, wild, slaying it, messing up, loved, hated - and everything else in between.
Did she live happily ever after?
Nope.
But fuck yes, she lived.
.
Not the end.
