What makes me powerful?

Many things in this world make me powerful in many different ways.  I was always raised to speak what is on your mind and let nothing hold you back, so in that way I am a very straight forward person.  If people start messing with me I am not going to be the person that will sit back and take all the crap that they are saying, but I will be the person that fights back.  Since I am a very vocal person, it comes with some downfalls.  Even though I may have a big mouth, I can easily get myself into a situation that I would not want to be in, but I also can get myself out of that kind of situation as well. Another way is that I am not a girl that you want to mess around with.  For example, if you plan on hurting me, you better think wisely about what you are saying to me and how I will take it.  Most of the time, I take things quite offensively and will somehow figure out a way to retaliate.  I say things that I mean and I don't mess around.  I have a very positive attitude and if you get in the way of it, you will be sadly mistaken. Because grew up in a very vocal household, everyone let out what was on their mind and let nothing stop them and I did the same. I still speak what is on my mind today, no matter where I am at.  Although I may act quite, I am probably one of the loudest people you know.  I let nothing stop me.  My life is exactly the way I want it to be because I decide what is powerful, and to me my words are the most powerful thing there is.
