I may not be perfect but I am always me. Strong people always have their in order. Even with tears in their eyes, they still manage to say "I am okay", with a smile. Keep your head up. God gives his hardest battles to his strongest soldiers.

Only seeing the light in others darkness; a friend
Thinking of my later life; a dreamer
Looking for what comes of tomorrow; a seeker
Bearer of good news & sometimes bad; messenger
A proud person of her culture; A Puerto Rican
One may call me fabulous, some say funny. Many describe me as something different.
A nerd is what few may call me
Not very fashionable, style wise
But most of all, a beautiful individual
