Sometimes I think

Oh Esha you’ve come such a long way. (self-talk) Remember to keep going even on difficult days.  You are a work in progress. No one has it all together. You have your blog, your poems, your writing a memoir, you have you’re BA, your AA and your HS diploma. You did well!

I don’t see myself the way others see me.

One day my stepfather Neil said I was acting like a child at a wellness appointment when I was calling my mother and I basically remembered him saying I filled out a form correctly. See when people say things about me I don’t just say what they say about me. I see myself as gorgeous and capable and just as good as any other person. I don’t see myself as better than anyone else. I love having the things I have and I really like the woman I grew up to become. I’m the expert on myself. I don’t let other people define me. I’m going to be 37 in January!
