16 years ago.

About sixteen years ago, a 'beautiful' portuguese little girl was born to Dennis & Kim by the name of Kelsey Marie.

I think back on my life, and realize, it's not so bad. It could've been better. But i know now that I wouldn't trade it for the world.

I have an okay family, for the most part. I have a nice big house, four acres of land and 6 acres of orchards to run around on and ride the fourwheeler on. I live in a beautiful place surrounded by trees. I have a nice pool and lots of people that love me.

I also realized that maybe i was taking my life for granted. Maybe i didnt realize what i truely needed was already right in front of me.

I dont have alot of friends, but thats okay by me. Cuz' the ones i have, man, they're great. ♥

I AM like everyone else, just a little different. I have two legs and two arms and a face just like everyone else. So what if my hair is short, that just makes me like no other person. I am unique and that doesn't bother me anymore.

I will beat this depression, if it's the last thing i do.
I will win.

I have scoliosis, so what? i'm more flexible than you :)
I have trichollatomania, so what? if i get hott and sweaty, i can take my hair off :) can you?
I have depression, so what? So does 90 percent of America.
I have anxiety, so what? Who doesn't these days.

This is who I am, whether you like me or not.
I'm just a regular 16 year old girl who wants the world to know her.

Like me or not. I'm still gunna shine.
