I am who I am because I chose to be that way.

I am strong, becasue of the pain I have endured.

I am beautiful, because I have taught myself to radiate my happiness. 

I am powerful, because I have chosen to speak out about my experiences.

I am hopeful, because I never gave up, but always hoped for the future.

I am flawless, because nothing will get in the way of me being who I want to become. 

I am who I am because I wanted to become her, and did so.
