To myself and the world

Within a phrase
I found myself
after much delusion
of whom I ought to be
whom I want to be become
and who I am
I've struggled
like everyone else
to find that perfect
person inside
but my search ends
suddenly when
I read in my mind
"accept who you are"
And I wonder then why
it took so long
I would have been
less harmful
to myself and the world

(smiles) Sometimes it takes time to remove the camouflage from our hearts and to accept whatever we feel, but in thr end, we will find much joy and will learn to love ourselves and the world! (sigh) Justice will be made as long as you believe in yourself! (kiss on cheek) We all love you, sweet friend! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Walker, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

It is human nature to strive for perfection, I think, and difficult to accept that we will never reach it....but that is what we must ultimately do. You say it very well....
