The beautiful me

Alba Davis

My name is Alba I am 23 years old and currently living with my best friend Saffron. We live in a small apartment in New York. It's kinda crappy here but it's better than living back home. I moved out of my mothers' house two years ago in the middle of the night. I had three of my friends help me out, I've been slowly moving my stuff out without anyone noticing. How is that possible? you may ask well my mother is too drunk to notice and my stepfather was probably out doing God knows what.

I am the only child my mother has but I do have step-siblings. But they don't deserve the title of siblings they are the farthest thing from it. I believe they have something out against me. They hate it when anyone asks if we were related. They always made it clear that I was their step-sister. Always pointed out how we couldn't be related due to how dark my skin was or how nappy my hair was. Chanel and Camila were the reason why I hated myself for years. With slowly losing the love of my mother and the abuse I had to leave before I lose myself. I would like to believe I am getting better but we can never know for sure.

What you will read now is my life story of how I began to love myself.
