At this point of my life, I guess I've done enough suppression, denial, and resistance against a part of myself that I knew to be existing since the birth of my consciousness. I have come to fully accept who I really am, realizing that there's nothing wrong to be me. I am still myself, a person who tries to be a better human being each day. And I'm not stepping on or disrespecting anyone just because I choose to be more truthful to myself and others. I know I have disappointed a number of people who sincerely care for me. As much as I want to please them, I would like them to know that I wish it was a choice. I tried to make myself believe that for a million times but it did not work. At this time, I just want to be at peace knowing that I remained genuine. It's good to be true at 23 and I won't wait until I turn 40 before I wake up to the fact that I, too deserve to smile and be happy :)
