Personal Essay: My Life After Being Abused
My Life After being Abused
I have the most amazing boyfriend ever he means the world too me. As a child growing up life was tuff and I was abused due to that I lacked a sense of self confidence. Although I was always being told I was beautiful I did not believe it in turn I felt as though make up would cover my past...my insecurities. I believed and lived by this thought for along time until the love of my life Brian came along.

That night went by and I had not heard any thing from Brian just as I had expected. But when I woke up the next day, I was soon to realize I had woke up to what was about to be the best day of my life. Around noon Brian called and asked me on a date I of coarse said yes.

Brian also proved to me that not all guys are the same. Before I met Brian it seemed to me as though all guys were just in a relationship for the physical aspects such as sex, looks, and so on. I can remember thinking to myself that I really hope the guy I move in with some day is not a morning person other wise I would have to get up really early in the morning, crawl out of bed, book it to the bathroom, and put my makeup on before he was able to see me. With Brian this is not the case. Brian showed me that for one I really am not that ugly with out make up and two its not looks that make the relationship
