There are sometimes in my life when I look at my mates and see how beautiful there faces are and I will look at mine and cry so hard…at that point I had to question God? why he will allow a little girl of my age to face this terrible challenge? but while growing up and with the help of my mum I realized that crying will not solve my problems.
I had to start doing things that will make me happy,like going to school, going out with my friends,learning how to face my challenges and I really tried improving on my social life and am so glad I moved on.
Am glad to tell you this,this girl you are seeing here has become so fearless and ready to face the world 👌💪.
