Marsai Martin Thanks God For Her Wins

Marsai Martin is thanking God, literally, for all of her wins. This week, the 14-year-old posted a sentimental message thanking God for her success. She writes:

Appreciation post to God:
I sometimes see these types of posts as corny but this is how I feel lol.
This year has been a roller coaster.
This year has been filled with crazy emotions and big blessings that I couldn’t even imagine me having.
Moments from this year, I was in a dark place. A place that I didn’t think I was going to get out of. I thought I wasn’t good enough and I thought I needed to present myself in a way that was “perfect” when I didn’t need to. Putting so much pressure on myself. Fighting with myself.
This feeling had nothing to do with how child actors think. These were my own personal thoughts.
The more I kept how I was feeling hidden, the more this dark emotion got bigger. I finally talked to my parents even tho they already knew how I was feeling. It made me feel better about myself. A sense of relief. I started praying more, talking more, and spending more time with the people I love. Now I’m feeling the best I’ve ever felt In a long time. Thank you God for hearing my prayers. Thank you God for blessing me with the greatest family and friends. I encourage everyone to speak their mind to anyone u trust. Even asking a random person “how are you?” Can mean something. Also, be yourself because no one can be like you, other than YOU. Okay I’m done bye?? – MM
