Truth is, I am so blessed. The harder things become, the more bombs life throws at me, the more hardships I experience, the more I realize how lucky I am to have who and what I still have. I become more grateful and happy every day. I know that nobody is perfect, and there are plenty of flaws out there many won't hesitate to address. But words are only weapons if they hurt and I've build rock solid skin and a big heart with space only made for love and happiness. Don't be fooled by the smile & most definitely don't be pissed off by my optimism. I fully understand the severity of how bad our economy is and how ugly war can be. I keep note on how evil people can get and how unfair life can be. I can sit here and tell you the story of how sad poverty is, I've lived it. But I'm not. It's made me stronger, build me up to love and appreciate what I have. It's taught me to have empathy and compassion for those whose suffered or those currently enduring.
I've found a reason to smile out of a chaotic childhood, & continue to find reasons to smile no matter how chaotic life gets. When the world tries to bring me down I sit on top of it and lift the people I love up with me. Love fuels my fire and I am surrounded by it & intend to keep it that way. I'm a strong young woman, I tell myself that every day. I grasp tightly onto everything I care about, I don't give up on people easy and I make sure of it. Heads up to life, there is no breaking me.
