i am not perfect.
i tend to like that about myself. it makes me human.
i do smile a lot. it occasionally gets me in trouble.
i say things that are not always appropiate.
sometimes, i even hurt the people i care about the most without meaning to.
i have the weirdest but most understanding family in the whole world.
my life is constantly changing.
every so often, i think it might be slipping away.
but i have faith.
that's why i keep smiling.
as i acknowledge the world i am surrounded by,
i have found myself growing spiritually in the most beautiful of ways.
i have learned to appreciate.
to love.
to laugh about the simplest things.
to cry when i have to.
to stand tall and be proud of who i am today.
because now is my turn to strike back at the world
that has made me the way i am
and show the people living in it what they have been missing.
