All these many years that you have know me I never really opened up. I was never really myself.
In the past months, I've been pieceing me back together. A friend help me to realise I couldn't keep up a wall forever.
I guess you could say I've been learning how to fly....

I thought i was going well.
But really i was still itching for aproval.
Last night a change occured in me.
It's being comming for a long time now.
But it's only been really noticeable in the last two nights...

Friday I started out the way i'd always been worring what the others are thinking. Ever so slowly i was able to let loose, to drop the defences and be ME!

Last night i was able to tell the truth to some of my oldest friends....and some new. I was able to let loose, to be free.
But there was something different about me. Something came out of me, was realised in me.

I was only ever a good girl cause thats the way people saw me. Last night i didn't care what people thought. We had fun, we were noisy, we were loud.

I learned something last night. Theres no such thing as being "cool" theres just being yourself.


if you don't let them in they can't see the real you

Nicely done....being yourself is a key to BEING.....
great  one here.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
