Butterflies are a sign of rebirth as the caterpillars world must end for it to turn into a beautiful butterfly and find freedom. Several years ago I had an emergency breast reconstruction which was incredibly painful and had a huge impact on my life. I went from being engaged with two children to becoming a single parent in the blink of an eye, waking up after leaving hospital to find my life would never be the same again. In my greatest time of need, through immense suffering and weakness I was abandoned - but it was a blessing in disguise because I later discovered I was a victim of domestic abuse which I didn’t realise at the time as I never knew any different. Unable to even lift a glass of water or hold my baby, my body mind and soul were shattered and my recovery felt so much harder doing it alone whilst trying to be strong for my children - the surgery that saved my life returned me to a life that had been taken from me. I was young, scared, broken and alone wondering how to make ends meet. But as each day passed I healed, the pain became less and my heart grew along with my muscles. I was a caterpillar back then and didn’t realise, today I stand before you as a butterfly. After my recovery I turned to bodybuilding to regain control of my life and find strength and stability in being alone - overcome fear and worry by facing it head on! Despite having digestive issues, cervical problems and my immune system trying to shut down I competed in my first ever bodybuilding contest and placed 2nd as a natural vegan bodybuilder, a million miles away from my life before. Today I’ve climbed mountains to help others, seen the world, advanced my education in fitness and nutrition and am physically, emotionally and mentally the strongest I have ever been. We are all on a journey of growth and self worth in life, we grow through what we go through! It may seem like the world is ending with the struggles we face - fear not, it’s just life preparing us for the freedom yet to come 🦋 #freedom #recovery #rebirth #survivor #ink #singleparent #chestday」2月29日 16時54分
