Explore. Dream. Discover.
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade wind in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
~Mark Twain

Ok, so I'm diggin' Marky Mark here. We spend so much time wallowing in fear, which in turn, keeps us paralyzed. So what if you fall on your face? So what if you make a mess? At least you'll know that you tried. You won't ever look back and say, "Yep. Fear won." How liberating, right? So, what are the things you need to really go after? In twenty years time, what do you want to say about the life you lived? How you showed up? How you addressed your fear? Yeah. So, act like it. Today.

COMING OUT OF THE CLOSET TODAY ABOUT...

Being an introvert. I thought I was an extrovert, but once I got out of a house living with friends (after three years). After cutting down from social outings and involvements, and after spending so much time with myself, I realized what brought me joy. I realized who I am. And though no one is 100% one or the other, I am certainly more of an introvert- with social skills. I love spending time alone. I love being with myself. I love reflecting. I love being away from social distortions of my true self. I love building myself up and being true to myself. And though I am now still in the strengthening process, I enjoy hanging out with selective friends who make me want to be better; who support me in who I am; who make me feel great; and whom I have an equal exchange of friendship with. I am happy alone. I am happy with friends so close who do not pull me from myself, but who are such a part of me so that when I'm with them, we are with ourselves at the same time. I am learning to embrace all the parts of me. Currently, the part that is introverted- that is true to my personality.

Embracing and loving myself
