Dear you,
I have been fighting to be myself for as long as I can remember.
I am a unapologetic, ridiculous, overwhelming, unrestrained, disorganized, confusing, and unrepentant mess.
I have fought family, friends, teachers, employers, students, neighbors, and probably even God at some point.
I used to think it was a losing fight, but I kept on fighting because I haven't always loved myself, but I've always wanted to.
I try to love myself every day.
I end up loving myself maybe most days.
But though I've been fighting everyone to be myself, I've ended up with a problem.
I am not good at letting myself be loved by other people.
Sincerely,
xx

ReplyDeleteI totally get this. And I'm listening to the Avett Brothers right now. Maybe it's just because I'm a filmmaker, but this music feels cinematic. So does this post.
