My age, skin colour and height place no restrictions on my achievements. But people, even my so-called friends and family members often pose them as limitations.
It’s so funny when people tell me they can’t be my friend because I am young and inexperienced. Sometimes, I feel bad it because I am human.
There were times when I was denied what was rightfully mine. There were also times people looked down on me with great disdain. There were times people intimidated me and ordered me around.
I grew up with very low self-esteem. I hated being around people. I always felt withdrawn. I became lonely when people only judged my outgoing and talkative nature, but forgot to praise the better parts of me – my silent virtues.
But I began to see the advantages in being myself. I began to see the other virtues hidden inside of me. For every inability, I had an ability. I am not tall, but I am fearless and courageous.
I don’t have the finest face or curves, but I have a beautiful heart. I don’t have physical strength, but I have wisdom.
I might not have achieved much…yet, but I have made grave mistakes and done great things over the years to bounce back. I might not have the ability to express myself in the best way verbally, but I have the ability to express myself through writing.
God never created anyone without an ability. For every disadvantage, God gave me an advantage. My life has no limits.
