These days im being me

I had hidden parts of myself from being treated differently

But im back to being me

I laugh when I feel like . I ask questions and dont hide what i dont know . I communicate my point of view. I show appreciation. I show my frustration with things when its there. I draw major boundaries of no contact when people misbehave to the point its not acceptable to me

The response? Mixed as before .. frowns and judgments and projections... love and appreciation and support ... both are there. And i still largely feel that im a 'different specie' from them because of the way certain attitudes are.

But im okay with all of it as well!

Im happy I'm me. I feel free. I'm not taking on more pressure of being someone I'm not in order to survive. Survival isnt easy being 'me' but its liberating to be true to yourself every step of the way.

I cant control them and I dont know why people are the way they are.

Im happy controlling myself according to my conscience and survival needs
