“I just have to love myself”
In high school I had moved from Ohio to Utah and it was a very big change. I didn’t fit in there at first. It was a very religious culture and a very small town. People didn’t want to be friends with me for some reason. I finally switch schools and it took me a long time to come back from that. I was always thinking why don’t these people want to be friends with me? What’s so wrong with me?
Finally it just got to a point where I realized I just have to love myself and not care what these people think. Just because I don’t fit in doesn’t mean I can’t fit in with other people. I gained a lot of confidence.
I have a pink and white Teddy bear with hearts all around it. It has a tear in its ear from my dog. The hands magnet together so you can put your hands through. It wraps around you. It is so adorable. I call it Lovey. There are times when I am feeling upset and it is that perfect little thing to just hold onto and cuddle with.
When I was little I had one and his name was sleepy. It was a cute purple bunny. I had it for 14 years and then I lost it and I was really sad. It was my little friend it went everywhere with me and helped me through a lot.
