Today was a day of celebration for me, my 5th anniversary of being free! This is an exciting day to celebrate for me. It was the day that I decided to change my life in a very drastic way and be present in my life, rather than continue to sleep walk in denial!
I stepped out of fear and into happiness! I can't believe it has been 5 years! It doesn't seem that long, and yet it is a life time as well. I cannot regret not doing it long before, because everything that came before, has made me who I am today.
Today I enjoy my life, I laugh, I smell the roses, I savor the taste of life in my mouth, and kiss the wind that I am here to enjoy the breeze. I don't let the moments pass without telling those that I love, that I adore them. My friends are showered with joy and smiles, and we share the laugh of love together. I don't hide away as I once did, fearing the repercussions of living my life by who I am. I no longer have the need to change for anyone. I am enough ~ just the way that I am.
I have no need to be any one else. I am content that I am who I am. It is ok that things are indeed not perfect, because in my imperfection is the love of myself. In the love of myself is my love for others. In my love of others is my passion within the world. I am content to be myself within it. I no longer have to apologize for being exactly who I am ... I am not judged and condemned every day of my life ... I have been given the keys to the kingdom!
Congtatulations! 5 yrs, Woo hoo! I'm so proud of you!
