as i mature & grow more comfortable in my skin, i notice the silly things that i hang onto, that i need to let go of. things like, caring about how other folks perceive me. this has been a sad burden that i've been carrying from childhood & i think i've grown so weary of it through the years that i'm ready to lighten up & laugh it away from me. it is funny, the ridiculous lessons that we put ourselves through. but it is good, because of how much we needed to learn them in the first place.
that being said, i have also grown into a person who seeks truth, wholeheartedly. i identify with the word rebel, because rebelling is required when it comes to rejecting lies in order to embrace the shining truth. so i can be rebellious, in many ways, yes! radical means to originate from the "root" source of a thing. can i save myself the energy & just be real? this is how i connect rebel, radical & self love together.
