Journey to Acceptance

Apr. 2020 | Written by Anonymous

If only you knew me,

Have you ever been alone in a room full of people? That’s what it’s like being unable to

completely understand who you are and the thoughts that run through your mind. Life’s

complicated and confusing, but it’s okay. Life is a journey that I am willing to take in order to

gain self understanding and self love. On this journey I plan to learn myself. Learning myself

will consist of comprehending and looking within myself to question my morals and values. I

need to get out of the mindset of relying on others to define who I am as a person. I need to stop

trying to conform to the norms of society, that will only diminish the person I was called to be.

Why do I think this way? Why do I allow others to have such a great impact on how I perceive

myself? Why am I afraid of emotion? Is it insecurity? Is it my past experiences? These are

questions that need answers. Answers that I need to seek within myself through experience and

self understanding.

If only I knew me.
