In the past year I have learned a lot about myself and life, I have really taken back my name and come into control of my life. This is still a constant struggle for me in a world that bombards us with a self-image that is hardly attainable. My new fear is that I will be unable to maintain the image that I have. The voices from my past tell me each time I look in the mirror that what I am is hardly good enough.
Today I go shopping for wedding dresses with my best friend, I know that as I watch her come out looking lovely and breathtaking I will still be struggling with the thoughts that I am hardly beautiful. The truth about today and most days though, is that it is not about me. Through counseling and many tearful nights I am beginning, for the first time, to own myself and to own my beauty. The man who holds my heart continues to defy the voices of the past by proclaiming that I am Captivating!
