Someone told me, “You’re so strong and confident.”
Sweetie, no. I’m not strong — I just never got the luxury of other options.

When life hurled lemons, I could’ve sucked on them (teeth chatter 🤪), or drowned in acidity. Instead, I made lemonade… sometimes vodka. 🍸 (Just the kind my Dad relishes, neat and sharp!)

But the real trick? I kept the rind and the seed.
The rind reminds me of the bitterness I survived.
The seed — that’s what I plant for something better. 🌱

So no, not strong. Just creatively citrus-trained.
And honestly, aren’t we all? 😉

Next time life serves you lemons, garnish the glass — it confuses the universe. ✨
