I used to be that girl.
I used to be the girl who doubted herself and her abilities. I used to be the girl who cared so much about other people's opinions of her. I used to be the girl who spoke rarely in class because she was afraid everyone would laugh at her. I used to be the girl who said yes to everything because she wanted everyone to like her.
I used to be the girl who would put on a fake smile and pretend everything was fine when it wasn't. I used to be the girl who barged into other people's conversations to feel like she actually belonged to a group. I used to be the girl who cried herself to sleep every night. I used to be the girl who lived her life in a cycle. I used to be the girl who thought the pain would never end.
I used to be that girl.
Now, I am the girl who knows and loves who she is. Now, I am the girl who only cares about what herself, her friends, her family, and God. Now, I am the girl who can speak her mind and stand up for herself. Now, I am the girl who can say no to people and can accept that not everybody will like her. Now, I am the girl who can openly express her feelings and deal with her problems. Now, I am the girl who ignores the thought of being left out and has fun on her own anyway.
Now, I am the girl who reminds herself of all the good things in her life before she goes to bed. Now, I am the girl who strives to live life to the fullest. Now, I am the girl who realizes that pain ends when she chooses to be happy.
I am that girl.
I am this girl.
I am the girl who will grow for herself and for the people that matter to her. I am the girl who will let go of all her insecurities. I am the girl who will build confidence in herself. I am the girl who will fight for herself. I am the girl who will stay true to herself. I am the girl who will embrace independence.
I am the girl who will appreciate everything she has in her life. I am the girl who will set goals and challenge herself to achieve them all. I am the girl who will never give up
I will be that girl.
