"I’m not a wreck. I’m a Beautiful Disaster." Meet Rachael.

I am happy to introduce you to Rachael, a fellow Beautiful Disaster with a story of trial and triumph.

In Rachael’s Words….

So I discovered beautiful disaster clothing recently and have gone ballistic over everything. I love the name “beautiful disaster” it made me rethink how I defined myself. I have always seen myself as a nervous wreck who was completely broken…but “beautiful disaster” just really sparked my heart.

I am NOT a wreck, mess, mistake. .etc… I am a beautiful disaster. I’m beautifully broken- how the world intended me to be- for a reason I know has to be good. I may not know the reasons as to why one person was handed so much more than the average person but one day I know my day will come where all my pain and bad memories will no longer mean a thing. I am a beautiful disaster because I’ve survived and defeated self harm, molestation, rape, being cheated on, being homeless, abandonment of my biological father at 3 weeks old, drug addiction, anorexia and attempted suicide.

My life has always been hectic and extreme and at times I’ve truly felt the world was out to get me….it’s a miracle I even have my sanity. I have an amazing husband now who cares for me and understands my issues like no other. I have found God and he gives me strength to keep fighting and know one day all these earthly terrors will soon fade, I have 2 amazing step kids now that make me feel as if I have a real family. I am now on an all natural medication that helps me deal with my eating disorder, depression, anxiety and insomnia. I stay focused on achieving peace and happiness at all costs with knowledge of knowing that my past does not define me and I am a beautiful disaster. things will always get better, I’m living proof. Please don’t ever stop getting beautiful disasters message out there! It’s a so much better label than seeing yourself as a wreck.

Thank you for reading my story!
