I Am Free

Tonight is the best night of my life because I conquered fear and I just embraced me………….. I decided to accept the real me without a mask. I was afraid to show the real me because I didn't want to be rejected or neglected. It's a freeing and liberating thing when one can be their authentic self. I welcome your opinion of me as long it's coming from a positive place. Anything else is not welcomed and it is discarded and rejected. 9-7-19 Alexis Y.
