irony

...and isn't it interesting how the victimized always oppresses those within it's ranks under the hiding itself in  guise of martyrdom?

Bravery

Isn't it funny the effect that bitching someone out can sometimes have on you? I don't know, lately I feel so liberated. I am so tired of hiding who I am or what I am feeling for the sake of someone else. I mean, don't get me wrong, I do think that it is important to be considerate. But when it interferes with your own health, there is a problem. So, then,someone was being a total douche bag, and I turned into a total bitch in return. That one small thing has led to a wonderful experience of exposing myself to a community that I never thought I would have the bravery to face. I spent years running from them, trying to be someone else. Hiding from them because there were so many and they all felt so big that I just needed a sense of myself...of me, my own peace. I needed the "comfort of my own protection"...but now, I'm done running.  I can't live my life in darkness so that I don't hurt someone. I'm going to be me, and you are just going to have to deal with it.
