Growing up I was so uncomfortable with I was , due to being dark skinned, thought I was pretty enough, too skinny etc. I tried to fit in . Hung with the wrong crowds just to be accepted. I thought by being like the others I would be accepted.&nbsp; But at the end that was not&nbsp; making me happy . I was probably laughed at that is okay you live and learn. After crying and my son dad messing me up mentally&nbsp; where I wanted to take my life . But send someone&nbsp; my Pastor&nbsp; who reassured&nbsp; me that I am beautiful and wonderfully&nbsp; made and I have purpose.&nbsp;
