Pieces of Me...

Excerpt from my old blog originally posted January 8, 2009:

“The key to change...is to let go of fear” -Rosanne Cash-

...that is the first step.
How can you change when u fear what others think or what others will say. Fearing that fingers will be pointed an that wrong impressions will be projected. Worrying about acceptance and blending in...

"Those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind."
-Bernard Baruch-

...the people that care will embrace changes.
They will understand you and accept you. You dont need to be socially acceptable, you need to be acceptable by you. You have to be able to look in the mirror every day and LOVE YOU. How can you love anyone else if you don't love yourself? Your body is your temple...worship it. Every imperfection...makes you unique.

Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent.
-Eleanor Roosevelt-

...dont give anyone the power to hurt you. People will try, and keep trying if they succeed, to bring you down and drown you in negativity. Theres only ONE you and only YOU know what is best for YOU. No one walks in your shoes, YOU have to live with yourself and ur choices so choose wisely...dont let others opinion affect what you have made up your mind about. i have made up my mind, to LIVE to breathe and to acknowledge the small things. To enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning, to smile at the annoyed MTA passengers and to accept that some ppl are just to miserable to smile back. i understand that im not the problem, YOU are. Rosita once said "we get so caught up in life that we forget about life"....aint that the truth! i feel like i was holding my breath in 2008! and now i breathe and i live...one day at a time...
