i am 100% ok with who i am, but i didn't used to be. The things that give me trouble (like the ED) are works in progress.
 i am proud to be exactly who, what and how i am.i learned to take a warrior approach in my life. i am fiercely myself every step of the way, devil be damned. it's all perspective and usually, nearly always, the negative messages we get back from others are their "stuff"... not ours. as difficult as my life can be sometimes, i am still determined to put one foot in front of the other and do so to my own beat. when i was younger i used to try to be myself but i had the idea that if i did it then people would accept or approve of that... that was a mistake. The key to freedom isn't in finding a version of you that everyone loves or approves of, it's in coming to be ok with not needing that approval from everyone. Lots of people love me and accept me, and there are some who don't... that's ok by me. When i stopped feeling hurt or anxious by the negative feedback of another, i gained a lot of freedom. take heart, be courageous... be your real you for all that you're worth

i fluctuate between confident and insecure. outwardly i am a "take me as i am"person but any kind of abuse(even verbal) throws me back on my butt. sometims i can stick up 4 myself others i withdraw or dissociate. it is a constant struggle. most people thin i am so-o strong. and i am most of the time. after all i AM a survivor!! thanx 4 your thoughts!!!
