I remember as a little girl in Brooklyn where I was born being teased a lot by other kids. I had the worst experience of being bullied because of the color of my skin but I knew I had started to feel comfortable in my skin and after my 30th or 31st birthday. I never thought of myself in photos because I always got compliments on my eyes when I went for my annual or bi-annual eye exams. I got $50 take off my most recent eye exam. I know sometimes life feels hard but I have supporters my mom, my case manager at the program I go to. My grandmother on my mom’s side had visited us in December 2019. I miss her so much. I remember visiting my grandma a lot in my teens I’d take the train to NY Penn Station. I also feel like God is closer than I imagined he’d be. I have a poem I wrote in the NAMI Messenger newsletter with a cool photo of me that says February 2020.
I am writing as a way of healing.
