What virtues do you value in yourself?

I have to show this photo of my tattoo again because it represents two of the virtues I value in myself.. 

Strength.. Perseverance..

Yesterday I got a reminder of just how strong I am.

I have been in a court battle with my dad since December of 2009 I have gotten no where.

His lawyer and him have decided to stop responding to my lawyer so in a desperate search a couple weeks ago I contacted the dept of child support to see if they could help.

Turns out they can and yesterday I spent 4 hours filling out paper work, and going to the two school I attend to get papers filled out. 

Now some would say whats the big deal some paper work?

That was the easy part, the hard part is the mental/emotional side of filling that out I hate writing my dad's name down as my dad.. I hate having to do this because I feel as a parent you should go above and beyond for your child and provide them with what you have to. 

These papers remind me I wasn't wanted..

He didn't want me.. I wasn't a priority if I was then I would have a memory of him spending time with me instead of all the memories I do have..

My paper work started off angry, disgusted and a couple other choice words..

But on my way to the post office I realized that I'd have the last laugh.. I will be graduating and he wont be there, I will have paid for my education on my own without his help..

Ultimately he doesn't have the control I do..

Yet I know after going through everything I have in my life.. When my time comes I will be an amazing parent cause I lived the "what not to do with a child"..

I am..

Gentle

Friendly

Honest 

grateful

compassionate

confident

realistic..

And I hold potential in my future <3
