Always behind the mask


I have lived life, up until this point in my life, pretty safely. I have made more mistakes than I could, or will ever try to count. But something has definitely hit me. And hard at that. I have spent so much time using security as my focal point. I stick to what I know, and to what is safe because I am afraid of losing things. Of losing people. I have always been afraid to just be me. I don't want to be like that anymore. Nobody is any better, or any worse than I am. This baggage that I carry around; It goes tonight. Tonight. I am living life now to it's very fullest. I am going to keep messing up and making mistakes, but that's part of being me. It's part of being human. I am going to stop apologizing for who I am, and I am going to stop trying to justify myself when I don't need to. I am going to stop feeling like I am not enough. Because I should be. And if at any point I'm not to a person, then that's when it's time to let go. I am going to just let go when I need to. It is so exhausting to try every day to be better, so I can be looked up at as a better person. I am my own person, with my own set of beliefs, values, wants and needs.
You can take me, or you can leave me. It's as simple as that.
I am such a good person, already. I don't need to prove anything.
I don't have anything to prove, to anyone, except myself.

I am so much stronger then I let myself be.
And that ends tonight, too.
