Shannii Maree – Strong Without Realising
Life through the eyes of a woman who had no idea how strong she was becoming
The woman you see before you today is not the woman she used to be. I never would have done the things I do or said the things I say. Yet here I am. I know those thoughts of I can’t do it That fast beating heart The small constricted breaths Feeling weak in the
