We don't let it define us

FAMILY

A short word but runs deep with roots that cannot be uprooted or destroyed. You might say you've cut ties with your family but there is always going to be a dent, a spot or even a slight crack showing where you come from or belong.

Is Family worth it? It is true to say that to some people family is everything but to certain individuals it is a deep open scar and yet others manage to hide it quite good. I never knew where I stand when it came to family, I was conflicted and in constant turmoil. I don't know why I still haven't gone insane but surely my sanity is decreasing, my days are passing by rather too fast than I anticipated . Yes, that lingering thought, burning desire to know what happened to me well be patient we coming to it...

My name is Beth Daniel's, your typical normal girl. Wait, am I normal? Nope I don't think so just that I've practiced that line a couple of times to lure people and not get them prying onto my business. Okay, let's start afresh. Hi, my name is Beth Daniel's an 18 year old typical weird yet fascinating creature, juss joking I'm a girl. A lot of people I came across tried figuring me out but none was successful, it's not my fault I am like this neither theirs and I'm happy that at times I'm not understood because if I was then I'd be ordinary. I am not ordinary and I hate to be classed because that would imply I am an object.Well I'm the first child of three kids and the eldest to make things worse but I've gotten used to it, not that it's hard just the fact of it being stressful and annoying at times. If you expecting me to describe myself oops sorry I won't but that doesn't mean I'm ugly get that through your skull!

I've had my best moments in life that I won't lie about, living as if it's the last day. Letting loose because I knew I was safe and no one could take that away from me. Who was I kidding because it all came rushing back to me and I regretted my existence. Nothing lasts forever in this world truly I have seen that, I've seen the better days of life and if there is a chance to leave this world for good I'd simply hop in without thinking twice. If there's a greater lesson life has taught me is to be always on guard, with the most heartbreaking and worst nightmares or experiences.

Never crumble but keep your head up high because you've got yourself at the end of it all - Lenhle Laylow
