The world tries to take away a lot of our self- worth, it gives us boxes and categories that we all should fit into. It says we all have to reach certain thresholds in order to be considered important or worthy. It says we have to look a certain way to be beautiful, achieve a certain grade to be smart, speak in a certain way or follow a particular order of living, but I say FORGET everybody else!

I no longer choose to focus on the times ahead, instead I choose to appreciate the present, to take in the blessing, to rejoice in the low times and be grateful for the now...
