This is me unfiltered / learning to be vulnerable enough to allow myself to be seen for who I am and not for who I ought to be, to give myself fully to the world even the parts of myself that I'm are ashamed of, that I'm afraid of, my imperfect side, the kid inside crying alone putting on a brave face and the ambitious monster hidden within that must be fed. So the people we are close with can see themselves in me and act in harmony with us as we embrace the world together.
