I grew up an angry kid in foster care, considered unplaceable at one point, so no one wanted to take me in. I got used to it, let it harden me and separate me from the hurt. Until someone opened their home to me and gave me a chance, cracking the armor I kept up. It didn't change the pattern of my life, but it changed everything else about me, and I will always love the "Taylors" for it.

It's October 3rd, 1915. I walk into my pre-k class. Maybelline, the makeup brand, just came out. It was everywhere, haunting me. Everywhere I looked there it was, I couldn't escape the wrath of this powerful brand.

Sometimes, when we are alone we allow ourselves to feel, to be vulnerable. What lies behind the mask we show to society is what truly matters. Here are some poems and short stories, I write whenever I am alone. Hope you like them as much as I enjoy writing them.

This month of may is the Mental Health Awareness Month and in honor of that I decided to share a recent experience I had. I wasn't really sure if I wanted to share this story but I am now because mental health isn't something it's easy to deal with and not at all something everyone over comes. It depends on the person and how much help they get. #BRAVETOGETHER

A collection of my Maybelline stories

Today's a good day. It's Friday. Your mom cooks a good breakfast before school. Your crush smiles and holds the door open for you after class. You ace that big algebra exam you crammed for at lunch. Your best friend shows you a new TikTok dance and begs you to learn it with them after school. After getting off the bus, you and your best friend rush home to learn the dance. They're so excited, their excitement has spilled over to you, and now, you can't sit still. You have to learn this dance. Plus, you're confident your video will go viral. So, you open your TikTok app to search up the dance to get a hang of it, but the more you watch, the more you feel like you're not good enough to do this. The first person has more rhythm than you. The next person is prettier and thinner. The last person has over a million followers and is dancing in front of their mansion. Suddenly, you don't want to do the dance anymore, and you don't know why you thought you ever could. Despite the fact that you're a skilled dancer with trophies to prove it and your friends and family always say you're the best dancer they know. Your good day is ruined, and you're too embarrassed to admit to your friend why you're no longer in the mood. Surprisingly, so many people have similar experiences in their lifetime. If you ever feel like a fraud and like you don't deserve the praise or accomplishments you receive, you might be suffering from impostor syndrome. Here's my impostor story and a few words of encouragement for anyone who may be feeling the same. --- Wattpad and Maybelline have partnered up once again for MNY's Brave Together initiative. This month, for every story submitted under the #BraveTogether Weekly Writeathon, Wattpad and Maybelline will donate $1, up to a total of $40,000 to four leading mental health focused organizations that provide direct support.
