250 words

uh so like this is 258 words but you get the point.

Explanation:

Life brought forth many challenges, but the one I overcame is letting other people’s opinions affect me. It started in middle school, when I was more concerned about how others thought of me rather than how I thought about myself. I was giving their thinking about me more importance than how I felt about myself. Due to this, I started to see only the flaws and problems with myself, and never the goodness in me. It took me a while to realize how the inside of a person matters more than the outside. Still though, the anxiety and self-esteem was still an issue. From how I looked to how I acted, I wanted to change that. I wanted to change myself, and replace me with someone everyone else wanted. It was tempting to do such a thing, but I didn’t know how to. I was in a confused state of mind, and very much concerned.  

Soon after, I took the time to appreciate myself of a person who had survived through so much rather than the person everyone else was saying I was. “I am who I say I am, whether you like it or not,” I said to myself repeatedly. Daily affirmations, surrounding myself with supportive people, and keeping my head is what helped me through this difficulty I faced. I may not be the person someone wants me to be, but I am the person who I want to be. Keeping this in mind, I managed to overcome this situation that had occurred in my life.
