On the outside, I am a stubborn, kind, curious, and hard working girl. However, on the inside, I am a stubborn, lazy, and judgy girl who has an overall bad attitude about everything. That is just the very tip of the iceberg. What really matters are the parts of me that I let other people see and that I am aware of myself. Overall, I am curious, stubborn, independent, kind, over the top, and so much more. All of these things don't change who I am to God. It doesn't change the fact that I am a child of God who loves, forgives, and cherishes me just as much as he does everyone else. Because of my life thus far, I am a strong, kind, hard-working, stubborn, and independent girl with the thoughts of a future in her mind. I want to believe that I am someone who can look past all of her insecurities and find the path that will lead me to a successful future; but what I want to believe is not the same as what I believe myself to be. In my eyes, I believe I am someone that is not only capable of creating her own future, but is also capable of succeeding in order to start the journey towards that future, weather my insecurities are there or not. Because of my life at the moment, I am who I have always been; strong, kind, hard-working, stubborn, and independent. Even through the hard times, I am trying my best to succeed. When I look ahead towards my future, I see only one path. Down that path, I am "me". I am the "me" that I choose to be. Not the "me" that is expected of me, but the "me" I want to be.
