Taking Off My Mask

I have hidden behind a mask for so long, trying to be who other people wanted me to be. 

Insecure.  Afraid of being rejected.

And, now… I don’t know why I ever did that.  Being me is pretty dang cool. 

Silly and smart, angry yet optimistic, joyful but realistic, grounded yet in the clouds.  A thrilling adventure!
