Bianca! You are so strong. You’ve already gotten so far in life and have achieved so much. That’s such an inspiration. I’m so sorry for all that you’ve been through. I’m proud of you for not allowing it to hold you back. Thank you for sharing.

Aaaamen, you are some strong person. Congrats to you. You did it, through it all. You had one of the most heaviest burdens of all time, where you missed your own childhood/teen years. You literally became a parent at 15 years of age, or before. You are and were a miracle child, believe it or not. If it wasn’t for you, where would your younger…read more

Sounds as if you have had a very good life. What do you do to help ensure your son will also have one? Have you thought about lengthening this and telling more specifics about those visits to the Browns? Do you make similar experiences happen for your son? What is your one regret in life and how are you moving forward to accept or change it?

Love it, and you’re right, if only we can go back. The moment are like days, you can’t go back to that day, you wish you had done something else, or when a mishap happens, or an accident you may have been involved in, or a disease you were diagnosed with on said day. If you can only go back to that day and things were changed, those things never…read more

I’m so glad that you reminded your inner child to not grow up so fast. It’s so hard to not do that these days. Life just kinda smacks us in the face and we all just keep trucking. Thank you for sharing.

This is such an amazing story Telina! I relate so much to this because I’ve been through a rough patch in life where I was hard on myself; and not only that I was also hard on the people I surrounded myself around. It’s a great deal in life when sometimes putting to much pressure on yourself can affect others around you as well. Especially whe…read more

This is a great story. I struggle with being hard on myself a lot. I have so many great ideas and I hold back because I feel like I wouldn’t be able to execute it properly. Thank you for reminding me that I am capable of great things. Your story is so inspiring. Thank you.

I so love this, and it reminds me of a poem I once wrote, “Be Happy The Way You Are”. You and your looks weren’t sent here to please anyone but you. You are you and no one can change that. Why would you or anyone think the way they came into the world was a mistake? You were made to be different. Everyone can’t look or be alike, otherwise, how…read more

You are an incredible person and have so much to be proud of. You are so brave and strong, as you have shown courage by facing the things that hurt and finding healthy ways to heal.

Good for you, you did it. Yes, there was others there helping, but You did it. It took you to make up your mind to want to do it. So never forget, You did it! You turned all that anger, those frowns, all the unhappiness into to A’s and B’s. We tend to get angry for many reason, but it never ever solves anything. Matter a fact, it takes so much out…read more

I was also a very angry child. I grew up in a household that yelled a lot so I resonate with the anger issues. I resolved a lot of my anger around the same time in high school. I’m now a mother of 3 beautiful babies and my anger is almost nonexistent. You have two options in life. Either let life ruin you or let life empower you. I’m glad you…read more
