(no subject)
Black, woman, tall, ugly, beautiful, stupid, dumb, smart, etc, etc....
These are all the labels that I have had to endure (of course there are more), but am I sum of my labels or are the labels a way for people to try and define me? These labels mean nothing to me until I take them onto myself. They can have no meaning, no substance unless I allow them to. I am hurt by these labels because of my own insecurities that I have created. Slowly, but surely I peel the labels away and only I will remain. Only the labels I give myself will remain.
Strong, independant, beautiful, fun, crazy, good natured, and a little stubborn (okay a lot stubborn). I am just a person.
