Not just a girl

Don't judge me

By Crystal ArchibaldPublished 4 years ago 1 min read
6 years sober and proud of me!

So many people wanna smash mouth me and use my past and prison and my old drug addiction against me like it’s going to affect me! ITS NOT, NEVER WILL. I am proud of who I am becoming. I am a little crazy, and I am blunt and outspoken and I will always say it just like it is. Why would you want fake? I’ll be the first one to admit my mistakes or when I’m wrong. It takes courage and strength to be able to be truthful with YOURSELF, because truth hurts and admitting and saying out loud what it is, can be so freeing.

Im not just some girl, or a recovering addict. My name is CRYSTAL DAWN ARCHIBALD IM 39 years old and today was the first day in my whole life.. and I lived pure hell, that I have been called TOXIC. Really? All I could do was laugh! Im ALOT of things but toxic is definitely NOT one of them.. thank you though, to the lady who doesn’t know me, be sure you have cleaned out your own closets before trying to dig around in mine!!!! ITS DANGEROUS IN THERE AND I DDON'T WANNA SEE YOU GET YOUR FEELINGS HURT!
