The Survivor

I am thrilled to be partnered with e.l.f. Cosmetics for their #EyesLipsFierce Write-A-Thon.

Based on a true story.

I thought my life was full of harshness until I met her. When I first met her, she was a twenty-four-year-old mother of a six-year-old son. We became friends instantly and I got to hear her story. I was shocked and devastated.

Who could have guessed that a kind, gentle, lively girl had such a painful past?

From that point onward, I realized how blessed I am. I promised that I would never pity myself and I will strive everyday to achieve my goals and dreams.

If she can fight even though she has nothing, why can't I when I have everything?

P.S. For every story written under the #EyesLipsFierce e.l.f. Cosmetics will be donating a dollar to Girls Inc, a nonprofit that seeks to empower women!
