Gianna

There's a common expression I remind myself of every day: that which does not kill us, makes us stronger.

People think I live an idyllic life with my perfect husband, but they don't know what lies beneath the fa軋de.

Like the delicate petals of the daisies he loved to give, I was easily crushed-broken, just as he wanted me to be.

I've learned to accept what is, but I won't let it destroy me.

Instead, I do the only thing I can to survive-I run.

I knew she had a story. I knew it most likely contained violence.

But never did I imagine the horrors she'd been through.

She was strong and there was beauty in strength. I was drawn to it-drawn to her.

I wanted to erase her horrors and give her something new to dream about.
