When trying to define who I am, there’s many roadblocks and challenges that I’ve been faced in my 20 short years on earth. Because of the challenges, I’ve put up walls and hid my memories, happy thoughts and all the things that truly make me who I am. To many people, I only show what is on the outside of my metaphoric puzzle box of who I am but only very few special individuals in my life will ever get to see all of the inside. If I were to only have the words on the outside I would be a strong woman but not nearly as strong as I am with all of the words, inside and outside, as well as all of the memories in the photos that come tumbling out when you figure out the puzzle and open up my walls. This puzzle is a representation of who I am, the strong, independent, overachieving woman along with all my baggage and what has made me who I am.
This is me spelt out for you in a puzzle box. No matter how many times you look you’ll never learn everything that makes up who I am.
