Coming Out - Time to Meet Your Writer

I’m writing this because I’ve decided something. I’ve decided to start learning to love myself. I’ve been used & abused for far too long, I’ve worried about what other people think for far too long. I’m changing, I’m no longer going to care if you like what I have to say or not, I’m no longer going to worry about whether or not I upset you. I’m doing for me & will continue doing for me.

(You refers to the general public - no one particular.)

I’m learning to love myself & the first step in loving myself is to stop apologizing for who I am. I am who I am & I don’t plan on changing anytime soon. I’m weird, I make things awkward sometimes, I’m quiet but I’m too loud at the same time but I’m not sorry for any of it. I feel sorry for you feeling awkward or weird but I’m not sorry for being myself. I fuck up, everyone does from time to time - I tend to fuck up more than not but I don’t care anymore. I take responsibility for my mistakes. I take responsibility for my fuck ups. I have depression, I don’t care if you understand anymore - just know that I’m fighting demons you can’t even imagine. I’m working on it & I will succeed because I’m a Warrior. I have anxiety, you won’t understand that either but know that it’s another battle I’m in. I’m a mess but I will do whatever is necessary to fix it with or without your help. I shouldn’t care so much what everybody else thinks, so I won’t. Or at least I’ll try not to. I’m not in this world to impress anybody but myself. I have flaws but I’m working on them, for myself. Laugh at me, I don’t care anymore. I’m so tired of being someone I’m not so I won’t be. This isn’t going to be easy, it’s going to be harder than hell but I’m ready to make that commitment & I’m ready to be me & be proud. I won’t let anyone tear me down anymore. I won’t let anyone walk all over me & I definitely won’t pretend anymore. Say goodbye to the me you used to know because she’s departing.✌🏼
