All my life I’ve been told I’m nothing but a disappointment. A failure. A waste of human creation. “You’re useless,” they’d tell me. “You’re a nobody.” For the longest time, I believed them. After awhile their voices became my own voice. The voice inside my head. Those voices have started to drown. I’m grown up now. I’ve realized my victories outweigh my failures. Even though I’m still battling it, I’ve “won” against depression. I was ***** & abused. But I’m stronger. I’ve came face to face to a dog that tried mauling me to death. I survived. I was unmarried and pregnant. I was a single mom. I lost my mom to cancer. All battles and life events I should have failed at. I’M STILL ALIVE
