I rose above my critics with the joy of living and confidence in my convictions. Reflecting many times on my beliefs I have gained strength with each thought. There is nothing wrong with me for choosing to be different. I revel in it. I blossom with passion and aliveness in my differences.
Life is too short to conform, to fit into someone else's ideals.
I create my own. It's the way I feel most alive and creative. I have always been driven to make a powerful statement with my words and actions. As I reflect on my life, I notice this drive to standout, to be different has made me feel large, expanded. It has given me self-worth.
