Reflections of Resilience: The Diamond Within

“You don’t need to sparkle for them to see you shine.” —Elowen

Ever caught your reflection and that stunning smile of yours?
Yeah, the one that sends gloom packing and lights up every corner.
Noticed how folks are drawn to you, like blooms to the sun’s warm embrace?
That’s your spirit, shining bright.
And the courage you’ve got—giving your all without expecting a return ticket—that’s pure gold.

You’re that rare bloom pushing through the concrete,
healing your own scars, growing stronger each day.
You don’t just let go; you rise.
You push forward, embracing life’s vibrant palette,
finding the beauty in others just as easily.

Elowen would say: resilience isn’t loud—it’s the quiet gleam of a soul that refused to dim.

You’ve mastered the art of dancing to your own rhythm,
not minding the audience, just lost in the moment.
You’re a mix of wit and whimsy, with words that sometimes race ahead of you.
But change? Not a chance.
You’re out there fixing crowns with kind words,
sparking smiles that reflect back on you.
Time to adjust your own crown too, 'cause those jewels?
They’re hard-earned—
forged from the pressures you’ve faced,
shining bright like the diamond you are.
