''We all have a past, I have mine.
Every now and then I allow my memory to travel through it, just to acknowledge that I have accomplished so much and make sure I don't want to go back.
There are things I've done that I regret, others I simply don't do anymore.
There are words that have remained deeply embedded in my heart and actions that have scarred me to the marrow of my bones, but I do not victimize myself because in one way or another I have allowed…
No one knows people's burdens, no one knows what anxiety lurks in their thoughts or bodies.
For some it may be just small steps, for me it is a life journey.
I recognize my achievements,
I admit where I've come
I ACKNOWLEDGE MYSELF.
I stay on my feet, even though I was almost on the ground...
I continue to do good, I cannot repay evil for evil, my heart does not allow me.
I continue to release the remaining crumbs between my fingers.
I keep opening my arms to receive what I deserve.
I am not my past, I am not my childhood...
It is not what is difficult, it is not my tears although there have been many.
I let the sun shine through my window...
I learned to put myself first.
I am what is beautiful, what is worth, with or without failures, I am and will always be ME.''
