"... And everything between"

Wow. I’m feeling really great these days. And I have no apparent reason to…

(But I do have)

I just feel like I’m really becoming an adult. Like I’m taking chances and making decisions that make me feel very proud of myself. It might sound a little bit narcissistic, but, as I grow up I feel even more conformable in my own skin, more happy to be me and be around me.

If you would have asked me five years ago if I wanted to be or believe in somebody else, I would have told you a very large list of names (mostly people I thought were happier than me). I used to be very insecure. Now I’m just enjoying myself and I’ve never felt better.

I don’t feel like I’m attached to my parents in a dependent way anymore. I love them, I feel their support but I’m just, you know, out of the bubble. And maybe it was that bubble that made me feel so insecure. Like I would have thought that only in that safe and loving bubble my family made for me I’d be special, and anywhere else. Now I know I can be funny, beautiful, attractive, smart, cranky, geeky, mysterious, gentle, sweet and it’s all fine. It’s just me. I can be loved for that.
