Nobody Said It Was Easy

This has been my mantra for a while. "Nobody said it was easy", a rallying cry for my life.
For things that I've done, things that I've wished to have done, and things that I've failed to do. It's difficult, because every time I sit and think by myself, I'm never really sure where my life is going, or where it has gone. It scares me to think that, maybe, I'm not supposed to be with anyone.

Or at least, if I am supposed to be with someone, I have to be comfortable with myself first. And that's the worst part. I try to be confident, to be the person I wish I could be; but it gets a little bit harder every day. After a while, the mask you've worn for so long starts to show signs of wear. So, maybe it's time for me to take the mask off.

Is the mask my body image? My sense of humor? My insecurities? My lack of control?

I don't know, and this, ladies and gentlemen, scares me more than a lot of things have scared me.

But, I have to take this step, a move in the direction I want to go in.

I have to take charge, and work for the betterment of myself, and the world around me.

So, no matter how hard it might seem,

No matter the challenges ahead,

I have to keep taking that step forward.

Have a good weekend everyone.

I love you.
