She doesn't need to be fixed, saved or completed..she just needs to be understood. Not because she tries to be mysterious or complex, but because her soul- one of the truly old souls- yearns for deep connections and passionate love. She's tried the ordinary lackluster love and it always left her unfulfilled. Her road has been a hard journey, though she'd never ask for anyone's pity.. She has too much self respect than to wallow in her misfortunes. She's strong because she's had to be, her only choice was to endure the pain that pushed her forward. Sometimes, being strong is the only option you've got, and she chose to be beautifully broken in the flames of her tragedies rather than to just give up. She never asked why or felt ashamed of the struggles she'd survived, for the fires of her failures forged her iron spirit. She guards her heart behind high walls and in deep places, because she knows better than to risk heartache on undeserving suitors.
