Becoming your own
"I exsist as I am, that is enough,
If no other in the world be aware I sit content,
And if each and all be aware I sit content.
One world is aware, and by far the largest to me, and that is myself,
And whether I come to my own today or in ten thousand or ten million years,
I can cheerfully take it now, or with equal cheerfulness, I can wait."
~ Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass
You are all that matters when it comes to finding your peace, you are your own world. So many times we want to become who we believe the world will love and accept and by doing so, we lose our true self. I know, I did this for 40 years. I became who they wanted me to be, who I thought they wanted me to be.
I don't know who will accept and love me now, for who I am becoming but I accept and love who I am becoming. I am proud of my own strength and my own power. I am a warrior, I will continue to fight.
Be enough for yourself and the rest will fall into place.
