How I did it: It took a while, but it wasn't until i went skydiving that i knew in my heart i am GLAD TO BE WHO I AM, exactly as is. When i was up in the air i realized two things: 1) no one gives a f*ck about who i am or what i've done, everyone with me who were skydiving were all free-falling, and we were all just humans at that point without anything to parade or flash to anyone else!

2) I saw how small things are below, it made me realize that like everything else in life, my issues/self-consciousness/need of approval of others are all so insignificant compared to how BIG the world is and the possibilities of who i decide to become for myself! The world is a HUGE playground and there is room for all of us to be just as we are :)

Lessons & tips: see above.

Resources: go skydiving, read "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff"
