KendallJaye Collard’s Picture Choice: First

Title: Reinvention and Renewal

Looked a little ragged. Maybe worn on the corners. Nothing you’d look twice at.

But I knew there was something hidden under the layers of neglect.

So I hung a sign on the door: I AM UNDER RENOVATION.

I spent evenings there. Weekends. Every moment I could.

People asked what was wrong with me. All they saw was the ugliness. A project too big.

I AM UNDER RENOVATION

Eventually people stopped being curious and started being scared. People fear change.

But I didn’t let it stop me.

I polished.

I dusted.

I mopped.

I painted.

I AM UNDER RENOVATION

Eventually people stopped being scared and started being skeptical.

But I didn’t let it stop me.

I bled.

I sweat.

I cried.

I never gave up.

I AM UNDER RENOVATION

Eventually I realized I no longer cared what people thought. This was saving my soul.

I AM UNDER RENOVATION

I AM A WORK IN PROGRESS

I AM BUILDING A BETTER ME

I AM
