I want to talk to you about someone very important to me. She’s not perfect. To be honest she’s far from perfect, but the way she makes me feel. It leaves me flabbergasted. This girl has gone through so many things. Her parents split up in 2007 when she was 9. This girl had to be the strong for her younger sisters even though she felt like her whole world was breaking into little pieces and she couldn't do anything about it. This girl became addicted to this guy. He wasn’t the best, so she would cry herself to sleep for him at night because of how much she loved him. Then she dyed her hair red and rebelled against her parents. Then she became friends with people who weren’t capable of giving  her good examples, because they didn’t know how to. Then this girl got pregnant. Everybody criticized her and her family.  Everybody thought she wasn’t going to be a good mother. Since she wasn’t the best daught.

This girl is Only Jamilex.  She make me feel like im actually something. She makes me feel so happy that she makes my chest feel heavy. She makes me forget about the bad part of my life, and gives me good parts to remember. Esly was strong for her sister. She was so strong that she was even helping deal with my problems. There she was dealing with her parents, dealing with the fact that she had to be strong for her sisters, dealing with her emotions, and she still had the strength to deal with me. The guy who she cried over is now madly in love with her. This girl was strong enough to follow her heart even if it meant getting hurt. Those fights, struggles, and heartbreaks were all worth it because now she gets to wake up with him. In my opinion her friends still aren’t the best, but I have to admit that they have helped her through tough times. When she was blinded by the size of of her problems they made everything seem smaller. Im very thankful for them because they don’t just love her they also adore her beautiful son. One of Eslys friend drives 40 minutes just to see him.

This baby is something special. Just like his momma baby Adrian/Hubs makes my bad days better. Hubs makes me feel like there’s no evil in this world. You may say that I am over exaggerating things,but when you see those big brown eyes you’ll understand. Hubs wasn't’ just a blessing to for Esly. He was a blessing for everyone around him. Even though he doesn’t know Hubs helps me through hard times. When I'm not feeling the best emotionally and/or physically I look at videos and pictures of him, and everything gets better.

Mama,

You weren’t perfect, and you still aren’t. We”ll let me tell you one thing. No one’s perfect, And everyone makes mistakes. You probably didn’t know this but you have been my anchor in the storm. I always find myself looking for you when I feel lost and scared. Babe, you’re one of the strongest people that I’ve met. I admit you haven’t done things perfectly but you have done them the best that you could. That’s more than good enough. Your beautiful son will admire you and he will put you in the first place; just like how you put him in the first place. You aren’t just my cousin. You’re also my sister. I hope you get to become everything you want, and i hope that all your struggles help you see things clearer. I hope they help you raise Hubs, and finally i hope that you will live the best life you can. Te amo.

I wrote this because my cousin as been there for me. Recently she has been gong through hard time and i just want to remind her of her stregnths. I also feel like she eserves this because she has a very big heart but she  can't see that. I'm glad I get the chance to remind her about how amazing she actually is.
