**BE the Change You Wanna See In the World**

I am here for Friends

About Me

“As long as God has me I’m good!” Let me follow that up by saying that I’m a really big fan of positivity, so if you can’t bring that to the table, then thanks for stopping by. I would love to fill this area with this, that, or the other about my self, but recently I’ve realized that I’m not the person I thought I was. Everyday I learn something new about myself through my interactions with others. Things I thought I could never/would never deal with I’ve surpassed with a smile, and it’s made me a stronger person. I won’t say to know me is to love me, but I can honestly say that I’m one of the realest women out here! Hate me or love me, I’m still gonna be me. I’m shy but outspoken, easy-going though stubborn, conservative yet outgoing, silly however serious, a bit of a perfectionist, but not perfect. I’ve probably been through more than the average person, but LIFE has made me who I am, so I have no complaints. Respect it, or relay the message to the next person! With ALL that said, I’m Shayla, and you are?
