Self-Pain

Having a lack of self-identity and low self-esteem makes life not only painful but hard. For many years, I had no idea of who I was. I wanted to be like everyone else instead of being the original masterpiece God had created me to be. One of the most painful experiences that I have had is not knowing who I was. I was living an unfulfilled life. I was empty, and I tried to fill that void with negative attention and unhealthy relationships. It was very painful trying to live based on the expectations others had for me. I was trying to so hard to be liked by others when I didn’t even like myself. I allowed others to put labels on me, and when their view of me changed, I changed because I wanted to live in the realm of their expectation. I was a walking zombie that had no direction and no clue of who I was. I lived inside a box that people put me in. Trying to live like this is so mentally exhausting that it took a great deal out of me. It was around March 2018 that I had an awakening after forty-four years. I began to realize who I was, what other people thought about me was not my business, and I owed it to myself to see how far I could push myself. I wanted to see what I could accomplish and become. I realized that my life was mine to live and not anyone else’s, and the decisions that I made were mine to make. This is the life that God gave, and I must live it according to the plan He has laid out for me.

The best and greatest thing that happened to me was me. Once I realized my true potential and power, I didn’t let anyone, or anything, stop me from becoming what I was destined to become.
