When I was growing up I was an ugly duckling..I was the quiet kid in the back of the class..sitting all by themselves..being teased by all kids..being called names..being blamed for all the crap that went wrong..My sisters were beautiful and outgoing..and of course wanted nothing to do with me..my mother was a work-a-holic and had no time for me..my father was a laid back, didn't have a worry in the world, sort of man..I grew up with the worst sort of image toward myself..I grew up feeling as if I was the biggest loser ever to walk the earth..and this continued all through high school..I had friends..but I never felt like I was part of anything..I felt I walked in their shadows..I joined clubs..only to be ignored..I had no voice..I know what it is like to have no self esteem..I know what it is like to be shy..and lonely..and I know what it is like to feel like the biggest loser in the world and have no one to care and I also know what it feels like to have that feeling inside that says..THAT'S ENOUGH..Im better than this..and Im just not going to take it anymore..I always blamed everyone else for the way that I got treated..but the truth was..it was me..I let people treat me like that..and now I was going to stop letting them..and I did..not over night..but I stopped them..and they noticed and they responded. Now..I speak my mind freely..and if people don't like it..too bad..if they don't like me..their loss..I am who I am..and I like me..it took me half a lifetime to find myself..and I am not about to loose her now..I think it is possible for anyone to do this..I only wish and hope that you do!
