I contemplated my life so far as I walked down the street, I looked around me and saw different kinds of people, couples, children, women, men so many different people, and I wondered if they all saw me the way I thought I looked, or the way I wanted them to see me, or the way they wanted to see me. I am a woman, I have made decisions in my life that make my character questionable, that make my religious beliefs questionable, that could often embarrass my family, that made me who I am. I look back, and I should feel ashamed, i should cloud my mind with thoughts of regret, with temptations to hide or run and never look back. I should hate what I see when I look in the mirror, I should despise the words that come out of my mouth, I should close up shop and flee. But I do not. See, I love what I see when I look in the mirror, I laugh at what I say, I love it too, sometimes I sound silly, sometimes mean, sometimes smart, sometimes like a bada*s. I made all the decisions based on how I felt about things and myself and I chose to do what I did every step of the way. I have been judged and I will be judged, that does not mean I should care about what that couple, woman,man and child down my street says or thinks. I am a woman I am human I am beautiful And I am a bada*s Let's be honest, you can not judge me because my sins differ from yours.
I am woman, a human and I am beautiful
