A note to myself

I’m not a beautiful person, as you may think or say. But I’m a good person I’m not flawless, but I’m honest, I’m not perfect, but I’m me! I have seen many storms in my life. I am blessed to have so many great things in my life family, friends and Allah. I don’t go by or change my attitude based on what people say. I don’t try to be what I am not and I don’t try to impress anyone. I am me. And I am happy to be me! It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented. I don’t have a tragic backstory. I didn’t come from nothing. I came from a family that has loved me from day one and been able to provide me with what I need. I have a roof over my head and food on my table. There are no excuses for me, no limitations, no walls i need to break down. Except the ones I’ve put up. But I’m not a genius. Not a superstar, not this incredible human being. And I fear that when one day all of this falls away. leaving my soul bare, making me vulnerable to the judging stares of society, I won’t be able to do anything. People with terrible backstories change the world and I can’t.
