Diva with a touch of modern Cinderella

Diva comes from…

Divine. 

I don’t know about you, but I believe I’m divine, therefore a diva. :)) No, I’m not a singer, a movie star or anything close to that, although I sing quite nice when no one is hearing me, plus I score really well on the Xbox  Lips. 🙂 No, the whole world still doesn’t know my name, but that doesn’t make me less divine. For a while I didn’t thought so. I thought I was the ugly duckling, imperfect, not tall enough, not pretty enough, not good enough, not slim enough, not this, not that. I lived for years feeling bad in my body and tried so hard to hide it.

I came a long way from that, I’m still not perfect, but definitely wiser, plus I discovered make-up :)).  I understand my body and I know what looks good on it and what doesn’t, so I make the most out of it.  I know I’m pretty as I am, and I know I look best when I’m happy, so I try to work on happiness every day. I have my on kind of charm and I am my on kind of beautiful. I discovered I have more strength than I ever thought so. I gave birth to a child and I survived endless nights without sleeping. I raised her well and I’m proud of that. I overcame pain. I had relationships and I’ve learn from each and every one of them…about who I am, what I want, what I’m searching for, what I can bear  and what I can’t. I learned to let go and understood there’s a life beyond that too. Each year of my life thought me something, and sometimes they were tough lessons. I learned to listen more to my inner voice, because she is always telling me the truth. I discovered I can be loved just the way I am and understood that I’m precious for the people who are precious to me. I’m a friend, a child for my parents, a wife for my husband, a mom for my daughter, but before all these, I am a ME, and for all of them, I’m divine, therefore a diva.

And I believe you are too…
