This summer has been an important one for me. I finally realize that I am beautiful, inside and out, and I don't need someone telling me that to make it fact. I love who I am and who I am becoming, though I am still a far throw from being perfect. There are things about my life that I need to change, and those things I intend to start changing now. Even in its smallest sense, a lie is a sin. So I will not lie anymore. I will not cheat, or steal, or be as wuick to judge as I have in the past. Im not perfect, and Im not trying to be. But I realize now that Im better than I thought I was. Im beautiful, Im a talented writer, though most have seen none of my writing, Im an okay singer, I can cook rather well, I have good speaking skills, I can talk my way out of a bad situation, I am smart, and I have a good sense of logic. So...regardless of my faults, I am proud of who I am. It's time to accept myself. The artist who created me painted me one way. And regardless of how many people cringe when they see my canvas, there are always some who will admire the array of colors, and I dont intend on changing for those who don't.
