I Am No Longer Someone I Have to Pretend to Be
This is only the beginning of the journey.
But the fact that I am writing this is already the result of my first intimate encounters with myself.
For the first time in a very long while, I feel that I do not have to pretend to be anyone.
I do not have to be stronger than I am.
I do not have to do more in order to deserve.
I can simply be.
I can sit down. Take a breath.
Without likes.
And write — for myself. Without a strategy.
Perhaps I still do not know who I am without all the roles I have played.
But I know one thing:
I am no longer someone I have to pretend to be.
I am myself, and that is enough.
Today’s affirmation:
“I no longer have to prove my worth.
I already am.”
