Chapter 54 - A Queen’s Heart

To whoever it may concern...

I have grown.

Through storms that left me shattered, through silences that screamed louder than words,

I have endured.

I've known what it means to trust and be broken by the very hands I reached for.

But I learned

Love doesn't begin with someone else. It starts with the person in the mirror.

It starts with me.

So if I seem distant now, guarded, slow to let anyone in,

know this:

I didn't build these walls out of pride.

I built them out of survival.

I finally understand the worth of a heart that still beats after breaking.

And I no longer hand it over to just anyone.

Because now,

I've got a Queen's heart,

and a Queen knows what it costs to rise from the ashes.
