My life

I’ve tried to live my life the right way, fitting in the best way I knew how..
And it’s exhausting.
Everyone has an opinion about who I should be, what I should do or how I should act.
Truth is, why would I listen to anyone that doesn’t really know me?
They don’t know where I’ve been, the struggles I’ve survived or the scars that tell my story.
I’m done trying to march to the beat of the drums of people who don’t know me at all.
I don’t owe anyone anything except myself, and I’ve been forsaking my own needs for too long.
It’s time I started living for me and seeking the things that bring me happiness.
Forget the should do, need to be and can’t do this or that..
I can do anything I set my mind to and that’s just what I’m going to..
I’m flipping the script and charting a new direction.
I may not know where I’m going, but wherever it is, it will be what I choose..for me, because of me.
I’m done asking for permission or approval, because that’s done nothing but make me unhappy..
I deserve better than the life I’ve been living and I’m going to finally start chasing my dreams and desires the way I should a long time ago.
I’ll stumble and fail, but at least I’m doing it on my own terms.
No more regrets, apologies or wishes.
This is my story and I’m turning the page to a new chapter.
It may not always go as I planned, but at least I’m writing the way I choose.
My scars, broken parts and jagged edges make me the wonderful individual I am.
Anyone who truly loves me sees the worst and best of me and holds my hand through it all.
So, everyone can save their opinion about who I am and what I should be.
If you’re willing to accept me and love me just as I am, then take my hand and let’s go start living our best life.
Rain or shine, rise or fall, I’ll do it the way I should have all along.
My way.
Some stars were always meant to shine...
And that’s what I’ll always be.
My own kind of star.
