Mind Full of Things - BECOMING MYSELF

"The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself."  – Anna Quindlen

The day that I finally realized that I could be who I truly am is the day I finally felt comfortable in my own skin.  I have worked so hard all my life to please others and to do the right thing or say the right thing.  I'm done with that and feel a sense of freedom that I never had before.  Working to be perfect is just that, work and I was at a point of exhaustion.  I'm searching still for what I believe spiritually but that makes me who I am.  I have a dysfunctional family, but isn't that the norm these days?   I'm still a little over weight but I enjoy rich foods and desserts, a lot.  I'm aware that I'm politically incorrect at times but I don't care.  I don't have it all together, nor do I see things coming together any time soon.  But my life is my own and I like it.  Becoming myself has finally become enjoyable.
