My entire life I’ve been told and treated like an outsider, a problem, an issue, a burden. I’ve been violated. I’ve been mistreated. I’ve been put down. I’ve been called names. I’ve been overlooked. I've been broken. I’ve been blamed. I’ve been hurt. I’ve been neglected. I’ve been misused. I’ve been accused. I’ve been taken advantage of. I’ve been abused. I’ve been told I’m a bad parent. I’ve been told I am stupid. I’ve been abandoned. I’ve been cheated on. I’ve done things I deeply regret. I’ve been so many negative things throughout my life. But, what I know is that, all those negative things do not define me. I am more than what others think of me. I am more than the circumstances that have affected me. I am more than a flawed, scarred, imperfect being. I am more than the tears that have soaked my pillow. I am more than what is visible on the surface. I AM more. I am MORE. I AM MORE.
