This book reflects my feelings throughout my journey. True expressions have been a challenge for me. This book gave me the opportunity and encouragement to express feelings from within.By the time I was in middle school, I begin to realize that I had mild depression and low self-esteem. I always kept my feelings and hurt built up inside of me. I didn't want others to say I complain too much or "Every time I turn around, she's having problems." I was telling myself that if I talked to anyone, they wouldn't be able to understand me. I began to express my feelings on paper, releasing some of that pressure and buildup. I wrote something, "How Can This Be?" In that writing, I talked about me and the feelings that I felt. Now that I'm older, I thank God allowing me to overcome those feelings.
