hi. my name is Jasmine Richards.
in my short nearly 18 years on this beautiful planet, ive had my ups and downs. ive been thrown to the ground. ive been through perhaps unreasonably much, perhaps only a small ounce of what is to come. i dont know, it doesnt matter.
ive been blessed. through everything, ive been able to get back on my two feet, stand up and walk away with as much pride as i came with. the ground never sank beneath me. i dont know what its like to sink in the mud. ive hit the ground hard but its never been solid enough to break me.
ive been given a lot. mostly by god. ive been given an overwhelmingly caring family, so many physical attributes which i bless him for every day, every opportunity in the world to do whatever i wanted. i havent taken as much as i couldve. sloth, the fourth deadly sin. it hasnt yet killed me, nor my spirit, im trying my best to keep it that way.
im not sure if i took the easy way out, the coward's way out, or did the bravest thing i could by leaving. all i know is that i definitely benefited from it. even if it was running away, it made me strong, my calves are huge after all that running.
ive become independent, strong willed, driven. thats all i could ever ask for. thank you mother, father, grandparents, siblings, friends who have come and go, a few teachers in particular, thank you for making me who i am today, the only person i would ever want to be.
thank you.
happy easter.
