He changed me.

Going from a ten year abusive marriage to just 7 months into my new relationship has been unbelievably eye opening.

Before him, I curled my hair EVERY single day. I hid behind my hair. I did not feel pretty unless I had it done. I barely showed my face in pictures. I barely showed my personality.

^^I do have clothes on, lol.

As time in my new relationship went on, I wore my hair done less and less. When I did, I started to wear it straight and I felt pretty. He made me feel beautiful. He lifted me up.

But tonight, I stepped out of my comfort zone the most..I wore my hair up and on purpose to go to dinner! I can not tell you I've ever done that. He looked at me and told me "there is not a day that goes by that I dont look at you and think I can not believe you're mine"

Today I went into world and I didn't hide. It felt so freeing.

All because of this amazing man that showed me it was okay to be who I am inside and out.
