“Growing up I felt ugly unwanted and rejected because of how I was constantly brought down by the people and the circumstances around me. I can remember cutting my skin over and over. I just wanted to disappear off the surface of the earth. My neighbor scolded me for doing that, and no one in my house ever called me to ask why I did this to myself. I wept and longed for love in places I shouldn’t have even looked. I’m not exactly proud of myself, but then again there was no one to remind me that I look pretty ..." - Joy Joradam
