Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Myself:
People kept saying that because I'm a transgender female I can't do anything or that I can't achieve my goals. But I surpassed that and now get clients like Twista. I still say that even though I'm homeless. I will always spread hope to anyone.
How I responded:
If someone is telling you that you suck or that you can't do anything. Never ever listen to them. Follow your heart and keep pushing on to the future goal. Maybe one day you can share your success and show how much you love Taco Bell. Find me on youtube at www.youtube.com/ayemarie. I will always give hope to everyone who visits my page and leaves positive feedback. I hope you guys take this and realize you have a future. It's up to you to choose how to walk your path in life.
