I Want To Be Me

I had a few heartbreaking experiences on this past Friday. I also had beautiful experiences on that same day. I focused on the good and worked with God and my therapist to process the bad.

I find it quite impossible for me to be hateful and bitter for longer than moments. I don't want to live this life feeling scared and distrustful of others; of an entire sex. I don't want to hold back my sweetness and innocence. I want to be me and trust that God is protecting me as God always has.

I thought of this as I said “Good morning!” to women And men as I wizzed by on my bike today.
