Evolution

When Mildred became Nicole..
It caught many people by surprise..Most people thought I just didn't like my name anymore..But I reinvented myself. When I made the choice to let go of past anger, hurt, grudges..I let go of everything that reminded me of the past. In order for me to find peace around me, I had to find peace inside me. Mildred had so many things holding her soul heavy that it was impossible to grow. Nicole had to take over and I'm a better me because of it. Sure I still answer to Mildred, it'll always be my name. But in my heart Mildred is still 8 years old and scarred for life.
