Prom

"Let me help you, Hija..." Aunty said while trying to help me wear a gown. Today is the day that everyone has been waiting for.

"You look so beautiful," Aunty said as she brushed my hair, and tried to style it.

I looked myself in the mirror, I was wearing a V Neck Ombre Ball Gown Royal Blue Prom Dress With Appliques, paired with stilettos.

Aunty was the one who picked this, I mean, she's the one who took care of everything I needed.

"I've never experienced this, let me do this, okay?" Those were her words when I tried to stop her from buying things that I needed for the prom.

"Thank you, Aunty..." I smiled at her in the mirror. She put some jewelry on me, while I was just looking at myself.

Seeing myself like this makes my heart flutter.

I'm proud of myself, that I'm still here.

Looking back at the past months, wow, I was so strong.
