Could this be true?
Is God telling me that he may be you?
I can't remember a time where I've been so comfortable
I can't remember a time when I've been authentically me
I can't remember a time when I felt more free.
I guess it is you.

Overcoming the Fear of Disappointment
On my path of evolving and maturing, I have had the greatest pleasure of learning more about myself. It's so fun fully enjoying myself! I found out so much about myself--my strengths, my passions, my desires, things that I don't like, and even things that make me uncomfortable. I learned to attack everything I do with an open mind and open heart; analyze how it made me feel--do I feel ok or good? Did it make me feel uncomfortable? Can I do this again successfully?
I also recognized that I have not gotten over the fear of disappointing people--whether it's my family members, friends, or professionals. I'm still working out the issues to why I feel like this; but I think it's because I just want everyone to look at me with pride. What I'm realizing is that, sometimes in order to keep someone else happy and satisfied, I leave myself feeling less than or unfulfilled.
My next step in my journey of self-love, is doing what is fulfilling to me no matter the backlash or dissatisfaction of the people around me. I'm scared as hell to face my fears, but I think it'll make me more protective of myself and I refuse to have someone feel less than the joys I feel today.
