I am not God. I know God smiled at me that’s why I like myself so much. Somebody said “I promote myself” and I accept that they said that or that they thought that. People have always had opinions about me and they always will but I decided to love and accept myself anyway. That’s what I am going to do for the rest of my life. I’m going to put on my lovely lipstick an smile at my reflection imperfect as I am and love who God created me to be. I am not jealous of anyone else. I think “hey Ayesha girl you’re attractive and wearing a nice raspberry beret” no pun intended. There are people who don’t like me honestly because I’m African American and I love myself. I know how that sounds but it’s the truth. When I have difficulties even now after I got better I realize I am a work in progress and that I can never say I have arrived. I know racism is a part of it but God desires for me to be healthy and whole. I believe wholeheartedly in self help and I want to be more independent. I want to become a Kindergarten teacher even if I just do it part time.
I smile in my mirror and let God be God.
