once there was a time when frailty was the word that best fit me. i was weak and childish and it was hard to wrap my big body with soothing words and well fitting clothes. my body was so large and my self esteem so low that when i looked in a mirror i couldn't find my personality i couldn't find who i was. my wrists shook under the pressure and my voice screamed out when i thought about dying. i was weak and could not live. now, 3 years later, both my body and self esteem have gotten larger. mirrors don't make me cringe anymore. my best feature isn't my ability to become invisible here i am. over the years i have developed a flashing neon sign over me called confidence. i may not wear short shorts and revealing clothes but i have this new found aura of confidence. here i am. i will not hide.
