I am the beautiful woman in the mirror as the steam from my morning shower fades

I am the long walks I take my dogs on because I know they love them

I am the warm cup of coffee to help me through the day

I am the daughter of the mother struggling with addiction and the sibling of brothers and sisters struggling with addiction as well

I am the strong person everyone comes to for advice when I need advice myself

I am the independent woman who is looking for a helping hand

I am the warm body at night to help my loving boyfriend sleep

I am the shoulder to lean on when anyone needs one

I am a lover of animals and a animal mom of 3 dogs

I am the sacrifier in the family to keep them from having to sacrifice

I am the determined person who refuses to give up or give in

I am the dreamer of dreams and believe of wishes

I am Crystal Knowles and the list above is who I truly am.
