Why would I even start a post like that?! Because, this is
what most of my life reminds me of. I spent a large part of my life being what
everyone else expected or wanted me to be. Of course, keeping up a charade can
be difficult, so I would be rebellious every now and again. This did not go
over well. Why would it? I am not behaving as expected. Pretending for so long
led me to not even knowing who I am. I was a shell of a human being just going
through the motions.
I have finally rediscovered who I am and dare I say “I like
me.” I even like the parts of me that are shaped by adversity and make me “unhealthy”
according to mental health experts.
