But I have made peace with her, and together, we are forging ahead. Because no matter what life throws at us, we will keep moving, gallantly, like the queens we are. My past does not define who I am; it has taught me, shaped me and strengthened me. It has taught me how to walk through fire with my head held high. So yes, I will take the red pill. And I will keep my crown, embrace my scars, honour the woman I have become and wait for a worthy king who will love us, flaws and all.
