My favorite necklace style now reads my favorite words: BEAUTIFUL BADASS.

Don't like the card it comes on? Just leave a note for me in the comments and I'll ship it on a blank one.

THE STORY BEHIND THIS DESIGN:

"You just want people to think you're badass!" He was angry. His chest thrust as he said those words. ⁠
⁠
The words were supposed to sting. They were supposed to get under my skin during a heated argument on a sunny day in San Diego as I drove east on Garnet, with my sunroof open.⁠
⁠
With both hands on the wheel, I turned my head to him with an absolute in the bones of my soul, "Yes. I DO want people to think that because I AM badass."⁠
⁠
The words he thought would break me, woke me.⁠
⁠
This would be a pivotal moment in my decision to end our marriage.⁠
⁠
He heard my rebuttal, but pretended otherwise and spouted off his next sharp-cutting words, but I didn't hear what he said.⁠
⁠
I was reading between and behind the lines, every word he'd said that was intended to be a burn.⁠
⁠
"If he doesn't think his wife, his intimate partner, his queen, his best friend is badass then what are we doing here?" I thought.⁠
⁠
I could feel the lioness energy roar up from the core of my belly. Like waking from a deep coma-like sleep, she'd been dormant for years.⁠
⁠
I am badass AND I'm soft, tender, courageous, kind, empathetic, intuitive, encouraging, funny, honest, and loving. I'm a badass AND I'm beautiful.⁠
⁠
How did I let the lioness slip off into the distance for this long? How did I let her voice go quiet?⁠
⁠
How did I get here?⁠
⁠
And then... the low rumble began.⁠
⁠
I could feel her stirring inside.⁠
⁠
I could feel her awaken.⁠
⁠
I could feel her rise from the dirt and dust.⁠
⁠
What he thought he broke, he woke.⁠
⁠
She'd regain her strength. And when she did, I knew there would be more ground to cover, more dust to kick up, more hunting to do before she'd have the strength for her guttural roar.⁠
⁠
I AM badass. I'm a BEAUTIFUL BADASS⁠
⁠
And so are you. Don't fcking EVER let someone tell you otherwise.
