Warrior At Life

There's this saying "Life begins when you step out of your comfort zone". Oh my how true it is!!!  Imagine doing something you never thought possible. Doing something you could've never imagine yourself doing. Well, life has been full of those...ever since January.  I saved up some money and invested in a dream. And I've been doing unimaginable things since. Going Live on Facebook, putting myself and my life out there. I've been stepping out of my little box, making friends and building relationships that I never thought I'd have. I put my face on the internet and entered a contest.

The list goes on and on.   You see, as a result of my experiences I had very little self worth. I wasn't worth anything...
