We are ALL STRONG with a background that defines us!

If it wasn't for my past , I wouldn't be sitting here able to say that I've never been so proud of myself because I know I have a good heart ,i mean no harm & I know I wouldn't want to purposely hurt someone else. I never accepted myself in the past because I always kept hearing "your not good enough, your a piece of shit , your a whore & so much more..not only by people who embarrassed me but by my own father who came home drunk EVERYDAY & talk down on me or even push me to the ground like garbage. I used to live in a house where I was purposely starved,couldn't smile or my clothes would be taken away from me to give to others.I payed so much mind to that ..that I tried to commit suicide 3 times or turn to alcohol as an escape route because I didn't feel worth it..I've learned to forgive people who has hurt me verbally & physically from my past or that till this day try to bring me down because if it wasn't for them I wouldn't know how to stand strong.I have a good heart. I would even be there for the people who put me down on this day because I know I will NEVER be like them & I hope my future child can be as good hearted & as strong as his/her mother was & will continue to be.
