A time comes in your life
when you finally get it !
then you become awakened to the fact
that much of the way
you view yourself
and the world around you
is a result of all the messages and opinions
that have been ingrained into your psyche from outside
of yourself and you begin to sift
through all the crap
you've been fed about
how you should behave,
how you should look,
how much you should weigh,
what you should wear,
where you should shop,
what car you should drive,
how and where you should live,
what you should do for a living,
what you owe your parents
and on and on!

You awaken to the fact
that you are not perfect
and that not everyone will always love,
appreciate,or approve of who you are,and what you are

THEN

You take a stand,
you take in a deep breath,
and you begin, as best as you can.
to design the life YOU want to live
and no longer what THEY want you to live
then and only then you will be truly free and I hope,
Happy!
