Shannii Maree – Strong Without Realising
Life through the eyes of a woman who had no idea how strong she was becoming
There is something that just breaks my heart when I hear someone who was in an abusive relationship apologize. Saying sorry for not leaving earlier. For wanting to help.

In Cairns I had the most crazy and insane thing happen… And it’s actually quite funny and so me when I think about it. One night I had the most weird dream. Those of you following for a while will know how weird my dreams can get 😂 So much happened but the part I’m
