Who am I?
Chapter 1.
As I sit here and look in the mirror I wonder, Who am I? From a young girl I thought I was normal. I was this skinny fragile life-loving child. I loved to dance, sing, play sports, read, and write. There was no storm strong enough to ruin my day. Then one day as I am playing with my Lil brother, I hear a cry. From that cry my life change completely. Who was this former happy-go-lucky child to this presently depressed-eating kid. The depression took over me, causing me to eat to make myself feel good. Not knowing this binge was hurting my body, my health, my emotions. Throughout, middle and high school nobody knew how I really felt. I will find myself having deep evil thoughts. I was too fat, I was too ugly, I was too dumb. I have family saying I am ugly, I'm too big, I'm going to be a failure.
Chapter 2.
As I sit here looking in the same mirror, I see a beautiful strong black woman. My skin is so earthly. It is the color of my mother land. Who would ever thought darkness was beautiful. I don't let my past hurt me anymore. I let my past help me. I am no longer depressed over anything. Because what can't kill you can only make you stronger. I don't need a man to tell me I am beautiful. To all the ignorant people look at me now. I am beautiful, I am smart, I am on a new healthy life-style. I am a SUCCESS IN THE MAKING...WATCH OUT!
SO WHO AM I?
I AM A BEAUTIFUL BLACK SISTER, STRONG, DEDICATED, AND VERY INTELLIGENT. I DO NOT HAVE TO ANNOUNCE TO THE WORLD, BECAUSE THEY SEE IT. I LOVE MYSELF FIRST, AND THAT IS MY HAPPINESS.
