I’ve constantly worried about what everyone thinks of me. How do I look when I wear something? How do I look when I don’t? Wearing something here could be anything from clothes to accessories, my hair to my smile, or even the expression on my face.

Thinking all these things and wondering has always been my wall. I stopped at that wall. I did not climb it. I did not try to see what was on the other side.

Today, I’m standing here at that wall, trying to reach for a foothold to climb it. I want to see what’s on the other side. I want to experience this climb. I want to reach the top and look at the vastness of what I have been missing out on all my life and choose if I would like to experience any part of what lay there. I would like to choose for a change instead of having the choice made for me by someone who barely knows anything more of me than just my name and what I choose to show them of myself.

I’m here & I’m ready!

To finding peace where I find it!
