1000 Reasons To Smile - 2

Today was a dreadful cold uniform day. Reason number two for smiling today was

that I finally stood up for myself against the girl who always brings me down. Constantly she

tells me I'm dumb, less talented than her, fat, not as pretty as her, and plenty of other wonderful

things to bring down my self esteem. Not this time. No way! I stood up to her and told her how it

is. How she can't say anything nice about anyone else but herself. There's a part of me that

knows she's hurting on the inside, it's probably a way for her to bring up her esteem, But I'm not

letting anyone push me around anymore. I've been a door mat for so long. I'm nothing but nice

to people and I'm walked all over like the welcome mat. Good-bye old ways, hello new. Only 998

more reasons to smile.
