‘A lot of things that I would like to have treated a little differently. As someone who has always been a little hard on myself … I also realized that it is very healing to just accept that you are not perfect. ‘
She wore a simple black long-sleeved blouse and jeans while her long brown braids were worn in the messy middle part.
Jenna concluded: ‘When you have the best of intentions, but it doesn’t always go the way you expected and you take a moment to look in the mirror and it’s okkkkkk.
‘it’s all about growing and learning anyway. Take it easy people ‘
