My friend asked if l ever want to change myself or if l wished life my life was different ……l immediately answer NO. Yesterday morning l was sitting with my mother drinking coffee when she told me, “Accept yourself, know who you are, be confident and live life,” I was just sitting there with the okay Dr. Phil face but after l went to my room, as l was registering for my courses/ looking through some old documents, l stumble upon a picture that l took 5 years ago. 100 pound kid, 4’8 tall, short hair in my grade 8 uniform, just looking at that picture made me realize how much l have grown not only physically but mentally. Did I ever visualize that 5 years from now l would be what l am right now?! NO, life back then was a slice of cake for me. I had everything I wanted and by everything I wanted/needed I mean my family, friends and education. I look at myself in the mirror and l am really proud of who l am, what l have achieved and what I am set to achieve. I cant say l am proud of my life because of course there are some things I have done that I am not proud of but l can say l’m proud that l’ve learned from it. I have seen life through a different perspective and some don’t get to experience and enjoy my view. I have learned that l can’t always rely on people, some things might not work out and everything that has already happened has been for the better. To achieve happiness in life, it all depends on you. Your life is in your hands and you only need two things: Faith in God and faith in yourself. I might not be able to walk around with a smile everyday but l know where l have been and where l am going and I know who l am. All I am trying to say is, you cannot achieve perfection. Focus on individuality, be who you really are, know who you are and be just that because there is only one of you so why not be that? Know your confidence; know your worth know what you have and no one could ever take that from you.
