I remember it like it was yesterday. I was forced to confront the woman that stood before me in the mirror. Although, it was my reflection, shedidn't look like me. She looked tired, rundown, beat and bruised to thecore. I stepped away from the mirror hoping by the time I looked in itagain, I would see the person I wanted to see. The woman with the longflowing hair, Mac make-up on to a "T", the woman that could make lifelook so easy to those that took at glimpse at her. But the image I wasgiving to the world was a facade a superficial appearance. Inside I wasslowly dying and just existing. Living life the way others wanted me to.I wasn't being true to me.
That was six years ago. I was forced to lookin the mirror and realize that life is to short to live in an unhappystate of mind. Life is to short to be afraid to live life to it'sfullest. Life is to short to be angry. Six years ago I decided to startworking on "ME" and although I still stumble and fall. The fall is alittle different and the way I lift myself up has changed :-). If youask me what was the worst day of my life, I would have to say the day Iwas forced to "Confront Me". If you ask me what was the best day of mylife. I would have to say the day I was forced to "Confront Me". I knowyour thinking how could that be, you see on that day I realized that Ihad wasted so many years of my life living for others and now I waslooking at the reflection of a woman I barely knew. I didn't know herlikes or dislikes, I didn't know where she was going, she had no goals,no dreams, she was just existing and that scared the mess out of me, buton that same day I decided to step into my "Greatness" and answer allthe questions my soul was asking. Chloe who are you? Who are you at thecore of your being? What labels have you allowed others to put on youthat you now believe or what labels have you put on yourself. Why do youcontinue to hold onto anger? I had a million question that needed to beanswered. I had to figure out who is Chloe Womack... I know who she isnow and I continue to learn new things about her everyday. I have fallenin love with "ME" and I love it. In the words of Ms. Whitney Houston "IDidn't Know My Own Strength", but now I do!!
