I have allowed all my setbacks in my life to control the directions I take. I have allowed my shyness and willingness to be in the background to weaken my creativity I want to bring to the world. I have allowed my negative thinking to let me struggle with being seen for the great person I have been created to be. I think about all the things I have been through in my life. I think about all the people I’ve lost and loved. All the friends that were and are not. The hurt and failures. The joy and laughter. The sickness and health. But, by the grace of God, I’m still here. My journey continues until my last breath.
