September 3rd

The girl that became a woman without a father doesn't feel sorry for her, just admire how she became who she is today. Nothing was done overnight, and a lot of anger still sticks with her, but today, she's happier than she was yesterday. Progress is powerful if you allow it. Take it from me, I should know. Ask me how I love the color brown I don't know or how I became a huge Miami Dolphins fan I don't know. I just let things flow in the mix of trying to not live the life I did not being able to control my own life but being able to control what I like in my own mind no matter my age and no matter where I was in life.
