What my internal growing pains are telling me is that I don’t like keeping myself tucked inside. It’s safe, but stifling. I don’t like keeping my words unsaid. I need to express them to feel and to be alive. I’ve been silent because I’ve wanted to keep the peace. But all I’ve done is create a war within myself. I must be able to be me and approve of myself before anyone else can, or whether or not anyone else wants to. It doesn’t matter. What we fear most is being alone – but what does it matter if you can’t even be with yourself? Who are you with then? I will no longer be a shell seeking acceptance; I will exude my own acceptance from my core. And those who are cool enough to enter my orbit will be let in. I don’t need everyone. I just need the right ones. Say yes to that.
