My name is Reanna. I'm an introvert who has learned (as best I can) to function in the "real" world. I am reletivly funny with a quick wit and way too much sarcasm. I am a Christian, (baptist to be specific) and I believe the the answer to life is Jesus Christ. He is what gets me up in the morning and helps me sleep at night. He has gotten me through some ridiculously hard times. Even when I feel like a totally loser he loves me and helps me.
I heard a song recently called "This Is Me" from The Greatest Showman.( The movie looks amazing. Can't wait to see it.) It has quickly become a favorite song of mine. The lyrics are so powerful and so true. Here they are.
This Is Me
I'm not a stranger to the dark
"Hide away, " they say
"'Cause we don't want your broken parts"
I've learned to be ashamed of all my scars
"Run away, " they say
"No one will love you as you are"
But I won't let them break me down to dust
I know that there's a place for us
For we are glorious
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I'm meant to be, this is me
Look out 'cause here I come
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me
Another round of bullets hits my skin
Well, fire away 'cause today, I won't let the shame sink in
We are bursting through the barricades
And reaching for the sun (we are warriors)
Yeah, that's what we've become
I won't let them break me down to dust
I know that there's a place for us
For we are glorious!
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I'm meant to be, this is me
Look out 'cause here I come
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me
Oh-oh-oh-oh
And I know that I deserve your love
Oh-oh-oh-oh
'Cause there's nothing I'm not worthy of
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
This is brave, this is bruised
This is who I'm meant to be, this is me
Look out 'cause here I come (look out 'cause here I come)
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum (marching on, marching, marching on)
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me.
I can't tell you how much I love this song. I literally have just this song on repeat. No matter what we are, we are us. The world may try to make us ashamed or make us think we are less or ugly or overweight but when we learn that God made us and he only makes beautiful things then we can accept ourselves and tell people "I'm not scared to be seen, I make no apologies. This is me."
I know that it is easy to say but when faced with it it is hard to stare the haters down but we can do it.
THIS IS ME!
