Lately, I’ve been learning the power of just “being”. When I was younger I got teased and embarrassed for being myself so overtime I began distancing myself from my true being, and creating this person that people could tolerate and like. I allowed myself to change and along the way I lost sense of self and I felt like a empty barrel just rolling along. When I realized I was not happy nor did I know who I was anymore, I began to question everything I thought I knew about myself and the world around me. In search of wisdom and truth, I began finding fragments of who I want to be and who I ought to be. Now I’m learning to love every atom in my body the same and I’ve realized all I can do is be true to my instinct and intuition and whatever feels natural, I do, because the longer you anticipate your opponents next move, the longer you keep yourself stagnant and away from growth and light.

such a beautiful being <3
