Two Individuals Conflict: A look at how my two conflicting sets of values has lead me to become a colorful individual.
I have a problem with self-image. Too often I find it hard to believe in myself, my words, and what I believe. It's too easy to get caught up on what others can do better and ignore my own accomplishments. There are a lot of people out there in the world ready to criticize you, as soon as you stand out of the line of society.
I'm heavy and I don't look as good in pictures that I should. I'm not a politican or a farmer or somebody else who I dream to be. I'm just myself, writing one word possibly not as good as others. Yet, I hope my creativity inspires and forces people to think about themselves and the worlds around them.
I realize that there is hope though. I can change all of those negative attributes and make myself better. I can also celebrate my accomplishments and work to do better. I can believe. I am what I ultimately inspire to to be. I can do better. Change can happen.
