I have a friend that I don't see everyday but I know she is always with me. She is that friend that always answers the phone when I call. She will always tell me the truth no matter how much it may hurt her to utter those words, because she can feel my pain too. My friend is Cindy, and her and I have been through alot together and we keep going through more. She makes me a stronger person because I watch her constantly struggle and deal with the punches, yet she always comes out smiling, looking beautiful as ever. Bruises and pain are nothing to her. She's lived 3 lifetimes already and for some reason life just keeps throwing her in the ring. She is a true testiment to "God doesn't give you what you wish for, he gives what you can handle".
Well, God must think she can handle ALOT. The crazy thing is, after all she has gone through she isn't angry at the world like other people would be. Instead she uses her life experiences to help others through tough times. She is spiritually enlightened and just being around her makes you a little bit stronger and more enlightened too.
Unfortunately, we live in a world where people don't always understand that her beauty radiates from inside. Other girls that know nothing of her past are jealous of what they see in front of them and judge her harshly for no reason other than their own insecurities. They always say you shouldn't judge a person until you've walked a mile in their shoes....I challenge these people to walk 3 steps in hers... through the ashes of her past....with each step hurting worse than the last because of the pain growing inside you. When you have walked those steps and if you still radiate light the ways she does- then you can judge.

"God help you if you are an ugly girl. Course too pretty is also your doom. Because everyone harbors a secret hatred for the prettiest girl in the room. God help you if you are a pheonix and you dare to rise up from the ash. A thousand eyes will smoulder with jealousy while you are just flying past".
