Hey.(: I'm Erica. Born and raised in Chicago and Im 15. feel free to ask me ANYTHING. Huge believer in confidence and beauty in all sorts. We have the power to write our own lives. We have the power to let our past consume us, or move on from it. Yeah not all pasts are bad, but you still shouldn't live by it. Live for the day you woke up in. Work for the day that's soon to come. Don't let your insecurities ruin you! Take silly pictures! Dance in the rain if you feel like it! Don't be ashamed of who's watching! Be who you are. Don't take criticism harshly. Learn from what you did wrong instead of wasting your time on proving you were "right". A strong person deals with their challenges, a stronger one accomplishes them. There is so much more to life then sitting around all day. It's like "Dude wake up! It a beautiful life, Dont you think?"(:
