Beautiful prose; that magic is the closest thing to tangible life I've felt-- the strength in declaring oneself. I spent far too many of my years concerned about what made others happy and I was close to losing myself. Once I showed myself love for who I am, I realized that people saw my happiness and we're able to share in mine and grow in theirs, too. Thanks for sharing your self love.

And the pose you're hitting in the picture with the mountain background is diamond-strength, lady. You look awesome in that copper color
