Who am I?


Who am I?

Am I a broken girl?

My concussions, My cousins death

Do they define me?

No,

I refuse to let my pain, my heartbreaks define who I am

I am a human being

One that has been thrown down so many times

but always seems to get back up again

I am a daughter, a sister, and a cousin

 

I love holding my baby cousin in my arms, telling her how much I love her

and I embrace the fact that I will be able to influence her in the ways Jenna did to me

Instead of crying knowing she will never "know" Jenna

Because the truth is she will know Jenna

Jenna is a part of me

She is a part of all of us

 

I hope to someday leave the influence on the world Jenna would have

To be a great human being

And to always care about those around me

I want to graduate from college

so I can learn and find myself

and become the great human being I have always wanted to be

 

I am not likes on an instragram picture

or followers on twitter

This is me, no filters

I am a young woman who loves to give back to the community

and who has dreams to leave a great impact on the world

 

I am a human being

a Great Human Being
