“Saying and showing how I feel…when I feel…what I feel allows me to purge what was meant to mentally cripple me. Being an avid over-sharer of my emotions is who I naturally am and before I recognized the power behind my authenticity…it was used as a weapon against me. It’s no surprise that those who didn’t want to know the effects their behavior had on my psyche were the only ones in protest of me expressing myself. Their refusal to hear me inadvertently taught me that the only way to achieve a solid sense of self was by contorting my self-expression to fit the expectations of the world around me. And like a dummy…I believed them.”
