is it okay to be me?

all of you is welcome here.

It's exhausting figuring out which fragment of me it's "acceptable" to be.

"just be yourself!"

"be authentic."

Whatever that means…

When is it "appropriate" to be your authentic self?

I'm tired of justifying who I am.

I long to just be me.

Initiation into liberation:

I give myself full permission for my own space dedicated to being all of who I am.

To fully experience and express everything within me, no matter how messy.

How cathartic, witnessing and expressing Me; raw and activated, without needing to be understood.

Without fragmenting myself.

Without apologizing for being sensitive or emotional.

The articulation of my inner world is art pouring onto a canvas.

My heart is big and beautiful; its vulnerable sensations and sentimental intensity are strength.

All of me is welcome here.

And all of you is welcome, too.
