The Girl Who Kept Going

I Just Want to Be Heard

My name is Myiah, and I just want to be heard.

My story isn't only about the things that hurt me. It's about the little girl I was, the woman I'm becoming, the people I've loved, and the people I've lost.

I've experienced things that changed me.

I've known love.

I've known grief.

I've known what it feels like to not want to keep going.

But somehow, I'm still here.

I'm still trying.

I'm still learning how to love myself.
