You didn't ask to become a warrior.

Nonetheless, here you are, half human, half scar.

You are healing by feeling, by allowing yourself to go there, to the times life left you naked and bare, and you hold that little girl so scared.

Let her know there's a long way to go, but you are not walking alone.

This floor you crashed on has become your throne.

And using all you have ever known, you have grown into a version of she.

The world had no idea you could ever be.

You did not ask to become a warrior, but a warrior you have become.

a soldier of the sun.

And your weapon of choice is to forgive everyone.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you very much.

I'm so glad.

So I think because I listened to your podcast and I love it.

And so it just popped in that maybe that was a good one for people like me to listen.

Yeah, standing at the edge of a new chapter.

But if you think about it, women have been changing every day since the minute you open your eyes.

We live with change constantly, constantly.

You can't rely on anything as a woman other than change will come.

And we're better at it than we realise.
