facing up.

written may 6.

there is a time in our lives when we have to come to accept who we are.
once upon a time, everything i did was governed by what was said to be cool, what the social 'norm' was.
but now, i have broken free.
i don't care anymore what other people think of me, and i have come to embrace my little complexities that make me who i am.
the thing i have realised is, that when you recognise, and come to love, all your little quirks, people can see how happy you are about them, and then suddenly everything you do is cool.

i can admit everything about myself, and it is so refreshing.
i can admit that i love to read both trashy books, and history.
that i have tried an internet dating website.
that i love playing mario kart.
that musicals get me excited.
that darren hayes may be the best artist ever.
that i sometimes dance when i am on my own.
that i used to have anorexia.
that i am scared of being alone.
that i read perezhilton.com.
that i play hangman online when i am bored.
that i am always drawing wacky cartoon animals.

i know now that it is all these little things that complete the picture, that make me the person who is different from the next.
i've faced myself, embraced myself, and will chase the self that is around the corner, ready to be in all it's entirety.
