Shattered but not Broken

In the past couple of months I have been trying to find my place in the mother earth. During that process of fact finding mission I realized how much time I have wasted trying to please everybody. Even though I don't regret any decisions I have made in my life but I do feel that I should have been in charge of my life.
Sometimes I think about life and its challenges that I had to endure growing up. I cannot blame anybody for my experiences because I learned a lot from them. Now is the beginning of a new era to be in charge of my life. No pleasing strangers. I promise myself to speak my mind and tell people how I feel. I am not mad at people but I do ask why people treated me the way they did. Why people judge me instead of finding out about my decisions? I always expected people to be there for me especially those who are so called friends. I just realize that before looking for other people's input I should believe in myself and follow my dreams. Those who have accused me of wrong doing forgive me as guilt as I am and accept me with my short comings. I am learning from all my mistakes and will grow to be the best citizen ever. Sometimes I find it hard to believe that people actual think I am mean or have wrong intentions yet I am trying to be the best friend I can be.
Let me just say the storm is over now even though shattered one thing I know I am not broken, even though wounded time will heal. I can't forget the words of gospel great Ms. Yolanda Adams, "Yet Still I Rise," never to give up. To you all out there live your life and pursue your dreams in the midst of any circumstances.
