here

No longer will I listen to the whispers of doubt.  I will hold my head high amidst criticisms, taking in only what can help me improve upon myself  and dismissing the rest.  I will not bat an eye when they say I am not good enough, not pretty enough, especially not smart enough to amount to anything, I will turn that hate speech on its heels and send it on its way without a moment's notice. Why I exist I have no way of knowing but trust since I am still here I have something valuable to offer our world and there is work to be done. I stand strong for my girls and though I falter in making mistakes I am teaching them it is never to late to try again.  I am blessed to be here each moment of my life and do not take these moments for granted. I only hope one day others may learn lessons through my mistakes and my time here on Earth.
