"I have encountered hurt, pain, and insecutity in my life. Feeling like I wasn't good enough in my past or present relationships, not trusting others and always doubting myself. I am now progressive and self-determined to let go and make conscious decisions to stop reliving the past which is my choice because it gives me some form of freedom in my choice. I have chose to Express my pain and stop blaming others and recongnize that I am a huge part of this world and I'm feeling more assertive each day by telling myself I do matter because it shows in my family, friends, and my work surroundings".
