Re-examine all that you have been told... dismiss that which insults your soul.
~ Walt Whitman
Unfiltered
I broke up with my life a year ago in May and decided to actually live the life and be the person I wanted to be and do the things I said I wanted to be doing. This meant walking away from a lot. This meant embracing loneliness and fear. It meant getting really quiet with myself and asking what do I want. Honestly, I had to figure out who I even was. I had been doing, saying, and being some kind of imposter in this body just to be some other cliche of 'normal'. Today, I have a truly deep sense of what it means to be silent and let things unfold. I have a pretty good idea who my true friends are and I have a different outlook on what community means. And best of all? I know who I am and what I want. I know my happy place and when I hear my inner voice singing it's song.. I know to sit and listen..

The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is to high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.
~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Hiding
Be weird. Be random. Be who you are. Because you never know who will love the person you hide.
~ C.S. Lewis
