Breotnie Nichols - What I Care About

I care about my friends. I have constantly dealt with low self esteem. When I go out into the world I am hyper aware of how people view me. When I was younger I did not have a lot of friends because I was perceived as stuck up, but in reality I was just shy and I still am. I would feel secure at home, but that was my only safe haven. However, with time I developed valuable friendships with people who truly accepted me, who took the time to get to know the real me. My friends help me feel secure with being myself. They may not know this, but their friendships with me have helped me become a stronger person. My friends are like my extended family and I truly cherish them.
