I am ... I am the books I read, the places I know, the people I love. I am the prayers I say, the letters I receive, the dreams I have. I am the disappointments I went through, the people I lost, the difficulties I overcame. I am the things I discovered, the lessons I learned, the friends I met. I am the pieces of me that took, the pieces of some that were left, the memories that I bring. I am the colors I like, the perfumes I use, the music I listen to. I am the kisses I gave, I am what I left and what I chose. I am every smile I opened, every tear that fell, every time I lied. I am each one of my mistakes, each forgiveness I did not know how to give, each word I kept silent. I am every achievement achieved, every emotion controlled, every bond I have created. I am every promise kept, every slander suffered, the indifference that has formed. I am the arm that rarely twisted, the hand that many others extended, the mouth that did not shut up. I am the memories I have, the goals I set, the changes I will undergo. I am the childhood I had, I am the faith I carry and the destiny I reinvented.
