I think today I realized how much I am growing.
My mentality has changed so much.
It continues to amaze me every single day how differently I think, feel, or view things now.
If you were to ask me a year ago and present me the same exact question, I can almost guarantee you that you would receive two very different responses.
The person I am today?
She is strong, but not without a little fear.
She is slightly outspoken, but fairly bold to say the least.
She knows no limits, yet, has boundaries.
She is kind to those who are kind to her.
She has the biggest heart with the most loving soul.
She is respectful of those who are respectful of her.
But, she has one hell of a backbone.
She doesn't tolerate disrespect that she knows she doesn't deserve.
She doesn't take shit from anybody.
She knows her worth because she's become aware of how rare a heart like hers is and realized how valuable that makes her.
She wants to settle, but, never for less than she knows she deserves.
Yet, at the same time, she is not without her faults and flaws.
Her patience still wears thin.
More than she'd like to admit.
Her temper, however much it may be kept at bay, is still something she tends to struggle with.
There are still moments when her body gets filled with so much rage and anger that she feels as if all of her emotions might just explode out of her.
Her fear of abandonment and fear of commitment still creep up on her.
She still fears getting too close to the wrong person again.
For the trust issues are still very much in tact.
She still makes mistakes.
Has a tendency to self sabotage anything good in her life, including her relationships, all due to her being afraid that it'll never last anyway because it might just be too good to be true.
But, either way, I am so damn proud of her.
Because she is me.
And I have come such a long way from where I started.
