embrace the person that I am, flaws and all

is so much more freeing than I ever thought. I think that I was too afraid before to learn exactly what type of person that I am. For years I was terrified that my father had tainted me. Now I know that I’m nothing like my father. I’m my own person and I’m pretty damn awesome lol. I’m still learning more. And each time I learn something I like myself even more. I don’t know why it’s taken so long to do this, but no matter how long it takes, this is worth doing.

I know that I can embrace myself more so I am not crossing this off my list yet. But I’ve really been realizing what a great person I am. I used to think such horrible things about myself. So what if I’m heavy, or if I’m lonely, or if I’m insecure. I don’t do drugs, I love unconditionally, I am very openminded, I can see someone’s inner beauty, I embrace the quirkyness of people and I don’t purposely hurt or backstab people. That is so different from so many people that I have met through the years. I’m a good person and I have really started to realize that. It’s about time too. It’s only been recently that I realized it shouldn’t matter if people tell me I’m a good person. I just need to know it =) In the end, that’s all that really matters.
