I feel very comfortable in my own skin now that I’m older. The change in me didn’t really take long I was in my early 30s. I remember things that I experienced early in life having to do with bullying as a little eight year old or nine year old black girl. I know God is with me. I release all of the older bullies that didn’t like me or said all these negative things about me. My 30s was really my best decade yet. I was able to smile in the mirror put on my black cherry Revlon lipstick and say to myself I like myself just the way I am. When my significant other looks into my eyes and says “honey you’re just as pretty and such a kind person too” I smile back and we have a special moment just the two of us.
I feel a sense of accomplishment now that I am older.
