If you don't go after what you want, you'll never get it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place.
I may not be everybody's 1st choice, but I'm a great choice. I don't pretend to be someone I'm not, because I'm great at being me. I may not be proud of some things in my past, but I am proud of who I am today. So, take me as I am, or watch me as I walk away.
