Since I was in junior high, I have battled with low self-esteem. You see, I am not what people call beautiful and even my parents have made remarks about my weight. I never really had alot of friends, though in the past few years I ahve met some incredible people who have become the best friends I could ask for. After I graduated high school, I sunk into a depression that I still battle to this day 6 years later. It is challenging because my parents do not believe in psychiatric help. I also am very afraid of being judged the wrong way and I want people to like me so I try to make everyone else happy even if it makes me miserable including my family. With this song though, I'm starting to learn that I am who I am, flaws and all. I realized that God has a plan for everybody and that maybe I'm not supposed to be like everyone else. I am finding that balance of being happy myself and making everybosdy else happy. Thank you for a song that reminds me that everything is the way it's supposed to be and to love myself for who I am.

 
i LOVE this song... my son has been diagnosed with asperger's after seeing many many doctors and therapists over the past three years. it was a long and bumpy road trying to find answers. now i am "learning to let go" of the fact i can not cure him of this. i am "learning to forgive" the doctors and therapists who pushed us down the wrong roads and could not give me answers. i am now "learning to love" him just the way he is. there are days that seem to be a lost cause but i try and think of this song on those days! "i will change whatever i can!!!!" i will help my son every way i can and change other peoples outlooks on children on the autism spectrum!!! thank you for such a beautiful song leann!

 
You know what touched me most right now I work with kids with special needs and my student is going blind really fast she’s learn to accept that she is and it hurts me because some people don't like people with needs and she touched me because she doesn't care she accepted and it she asked me if I will walk her down the aisle at graduation it made me cry because i was so happy well the point is I couldn't feel bad for her because she doesn't feel bad for herself and she absolutely caught my heart

I was born with a ware sickness call Diamond Black Fin, my red cells didn't produce. I would have to get blood transfusion every 3 weeks. In 2004 I had a bone marrow transplant and everything came out great. I started to produce my red cells. In Nov. of 2005 I caught an infection that almost killed me. I was in a coma for about a month and a half. When I woke up the doctors told me that they would have to ammputate my left foot, 6in below my right leg, and my right fingers. I just busted out crying. But the doctors had to do what they had to do in order for me to be here right now. On Sept. of 2007 I finally got my prosthetics. I did my own pysical therapy. Im still havin to go through surgerys. Im only 24 and I had over 18 operations. Since I was born I had to fight for my life. Sometimes I just want to give up, but I know I can't. When I heard that song it touched me. I will learn to let go what I cannot change. Little by little I am. Thank you so much for writting such a heart warming beautiful song.
