THIS IS WHO I AM

selfstruggles

When I stand up for myself and my beliefs, they call me a *****. When I stand up for those I love, they call me a *****. When I speak my mind, think my own thoughts, or do things my own way, they call me a *****.
Being a ***** entails being raised to be a strong person who has a solid sense of personal and social responsibility, who is not afraid to stand up for what I believe in and to love and respect myself for the beautiful being I am. Being a ***** means that I am free to be the wonderful creature that is me, with all my own intricacies, contradictions, quirks and beauty. Being a ***** means I won't compromise what's in my heart. It means I live my life MY way. It means I won't allow anyone to step on me. When I refuse to tolerate injustice and speak up against it, I am defined as a *****. The same thing happens when I take time out for myself instead of being everyone's maid, when I act a little selfish.
I am proud to be a *****! It means I have the courage and strength to allow myself to be who I truly am and won't become anyone else's idea of what they think I "should" be. I am outspoken, opinionated, and determined. By God, I want what I want, and there is nothing wrong with that!
So try to stomp on me, try to douse my inner flame, try to squash every ounce of beauty I hold within me. You won't succeed. And if that makes me a *****, so be it. I embrace the title and am proud to bear it
