I used to worry about what everyone thought about me and how others would see me…
Not anymore.
Somewhere along the way, mixed between worrying too much about how I looked and caring if people liked me..
I realized that I didn’t need anyone’s approval or permission to be happy and comfortable in my own skin.
No matter what they thought, said or didn’t like, it had no impact on who I was or how I felt.
So I decided to start doing more of the things that made me happy and leaving all the opinions, comments and judgements behind.
It took me a while to build a thicker skin and stronger will, but once I reached a certain point,
I started feeling something I hadn’t in a very long time.. maybe ever.
Free.
Free to dress the way I wanted.
Free to act how I liked.
Free to say, think and become whoever I chose to be..
And I gotta say,
I can’t believe I waited so long.
Knowing that I can walk into a room and not care what anyone thinks about me?
That’s a level of peace and freedom I can’t say I had ever experienced before.
It’s more than just happiness I felt, more than calm or peace..
I was empowered..
To start living life by my own rules.
To start loving whoever I wanted…
Starting with me.
Yes, it helped me become more comfortable in my own skin and that has changed everything for me.
I’m not going to look over my shoulder and worry about what has been-
I can’t change where I’ve been and I wouldn’t if I could-
All the heartache, hardship and hard feelings has made me into the person I am today..
And I’m really starting to like this gal.
I’ve got a lot of living, loving and laughing still do in this life..
And I’m doing all of that and more every chance I get.
Most importantly, I’m okay with myself and my own company..
With everything else I’ve learned, seen and felt, it’s done something so very important for me:
It’s set me free…
To finally find my own way, to become the person I’ve always wanted to be l..
And make of all, to be happy.
I really can’t ask for any more than that.
I love myself, my life and my people..
Just the way it was always meant to be.
Life doesn’t get any better than this.
