I like the analogy of food. Food is comforting and necessary. It nourishes us. Often times, we turn to food to fill a void. We are a product of our environment. That’s not a bad thing, it just is what it is. I find myself coming out from the many layers that blanket me to reveal who I really am. It’s funny how we walk through life in a cloak of disguises to fit into any situation. It isn’t until recently that I have unveiled a true sense of self.
There is a lot of power in embracing my authentic self. Surrounded by others, we tend to fall prey to society defining who we are, but the reality is that only I can provide that definition. When I disengaged from people recently during my emotional cleanse, I felt a strange sense of peace. It was as if this was the key to my identifying my true being. I didn’t grief the lose of the relationships, instead I celebrated what I learned from those interactions. It was because of those individuals that I am able to redefine myself.
Just like anyone, I want to be seen for me. I want to embrace the part of me that has been silenced with fear of rejection. I want to empower myself in order to empower others searching for their inner self. No longer do I crave the acceptance of others, but instead eagerly accept me for me.
