Topic: Identity Crisis

For so long growing up I didn't understand who I was as a person. But I knew I wanted to be liked by others. For so long I hide behind my own mask I created to become someone people would like. This mask only allowed others to use me because they knew I wanted to be liked.

Studying my own behavior throughout my short live, I learned what allowed me to give in so easy to those around me, just to be liked by them Now I understand it was because I didn't value myself. I didn't place myself at a higher value then every one else. I belittled myself to be like by others.

Learning you can only become what you allow yourself to become. That no one has power over you to do anything. But the power you give them allows them to use, abuse and mistreat you.

You have to want more outta yourself. You as an individual has to love yourself. No matter what obstacles has been giving to you by being brought into this world you didn't ask to come in. There shouldn't be any way or fashion someone who is no better than you are, should be able to pass judgement on you. You are beautiful inside out, an you have to believe just that. You have to learn, love and understand who you are on the inside before you can value yourself at its highest of highest.

Remember your control is your control. The power you have is within you and is you. Controlled by you, and only you...
