I eased my way into freedom.

No one gave me permission. 

They don’t have to…and they can’t. 

This is my journey.I have burned and thrown and lost every map I’ve held, but I’m here. I am here, and I am different.  I’m not certain what that makes me,but I am me.  And I am certain that this glorious experience has to be this way. I’m certain that it won’t be easy.  Certain that it shouldn’t be.  Certain that I not only can be me, that I have to be.
Certain that I can’t destroy what I don’t understand, even when it’s me.  Certain that you have to be different too.  You must be you.  And it’s more than ok, it’s beautiful!
