I feel that I am a champion because I overcame being abused as a teenager. I was told that I was nothing and that I never deserved love or success. Now I have completed college, I am a up and coming author, and ten years later the love of my life has found me. I am more than a champion, I'm a child of the KING.
What I want people to take away from my story is that one, real love doesn't ever intentionally hurt you. Two, never let anyone tell you what you can and can't do.
Thank you for letting me share my story.
