There have been many times in my life when I've been called ugly and a boy. Yes, it planted the seed of discouragement, self-doubt, lack of confidence and quite a few other things.
As I grew, I took on those attributes of believing I was ugly, and acting like a boy. Through the process of trial, error, tribulations, and defeats, I was sometimes tortured within my own thoughts from feeding into the words that others had spoken into my life.
Thankfully I had an older cousin to let me know that I wasn't any of those things, and who or what I am is determined by what I say, not anyone else. Others will have their opinion(s), but it never outweighs what I believe and think of myself. #thatsurthurty
