Live to Dream and Dream to Live

I think about what I don’t and do have. I think about my actions and the consequences. I think about what I should have done but didn’t. I think all these things make me become the person who nobody wants to see.
Everybody wants to see a girl who thinks positively. Everybody wants to see a girl who is happy. I can’t complain about my home or my guardians. I always find myself thinking who my friends are. I always come up with the same answer: I’m my only true friend. Nobody knows me like I know myself. I know I’m not that tough girl I want everybody to see. I see a girl who is afraid of everything. A girl who is afraid to grow up; afraid to let people see how sensitive she is. I am afraid that people don’t appreciate what I have to offer. Most of all, I’m afraid that I won’t become the person I want to be. I may not be the strongest person I know. But I’m strong enough to go forward, even after all I have been through. I may not be the smartest person I know, but I do know something. I know that being me is what makes me Natasha. My past experiences will not bring me down. I won’t allow them to. Many people believe that one day I will fall and never get up. But I will always get up and be ready for whatever challenge comes my way. I know dreaming is one way to stay alive, because I have dreams I need to make come true.
I used to dream that one day my mother would wake up and take care of her kids and herself. I used to dream that I would become a mom. I learned to dream things that I can control. I can control who I am, not who my mother is or isn’t. I dream to be successful and to be the person my mother never was: strong, independent and eager to learn.
