I measure my worth not in comparison to others.

I am just as good anyone else. I am no better than anyone else. I am no less than anyone else. Some people look at the people on TV and secretly want to be like them, but never acknowledge that. I do not fit in with what this society considers beautiful, but I feel good about myself. Self-worth and self-compassion are all I need. I forgive myself for my wrongs in the past. I try to be kind to myself. Ideals are unachievable, unattainable, and in my opinion are not that big of a deal. I don’t worry about them at my age. I am in my 40s.

I am a Black Guyanese woman. I'm thirty nine years old. I went back to college to take Early Childhood Education classes. I want to get a second 48-credit BA degree in Early Childhood Education by 2021. I go to NJCU. I have a BA in Creative Writing from NJCU. I graduated from NJCU in August 2015. I transferred to NJCU from Mercer. I have my AA degree from Mercer in Humanities and Social Science since May 2007. I write poems, I write memoirs, I'm a blogger and I am taking a children's lit course. I love reading memoirs. I also do book reviews from time to time. My favorite poet is Emily Dickinson.
