Why is there so much focus put on being lighter skinned? I see racism against Dark Girls like me but there is racism against Light Girls too.

The person that nominated me for a blogger award please tell me who you are. What is your name?

I felt so much more comfortable in my own skin that I couldn’t believe it was me but it was me. I was a really self-conscious kid and I had a difficult adolescence.  Here I was feeling better because of my positive self-image. I remember stuff I went through but none of that stuff deterred me. If God is for us tell me who can really be against us.

I know I won’t have my life forever. I will enjoy my life every chance I get. I will work until I’m in my 80s. I never want to retire.

I’m a lot more myself though than I used to be. I’m a strong person.

I will start by saying my prayers every day and writing out prayers about my situation.

Getting bubble baths in the bathtub. My mom made me homemade birthday cakes too with frosting.

I’m looking forward to my 38th birthday next year. I have a lot to be proud of and so much to be thankful for. I know celebrating my life is what I want to do. Birthdays are special every year. I look forward to my birthday next year. Here’s to Happy Birthdays and more living or enjoying every day of my life.

My self-esteem is good and I feel good about myself despite my voices.  At night I hear mean voices. A good night’s sleep is all I need to escape from the reality of my mean scary voices.

I choose to think positively and to remember the good and happy times in my life. I am optimistic about the future too. The best is yet to come!
