Lynden Makes a Change by Aqualityofmercy

Well, this was unexpected, but I'm glad it happened because I now know that this is what I really wanted . . .

"Be who you want to be; never let anyone try to tell you who you are, because they can't. Only you can."

People always say be yourself and be happy in your own skin right? Well it's hard to be happy with yourself when your me. When people always stare at you, make remarks and embarrass you. You put on a brave face to cover the pain but the pain will escape one day. When a person who respects you and understands you brings out a side of yourself you never knew existed and things change forever. There's no going back once love enters your life.

Something that i wanted my future self to know. Something that i had to solve with my present.

Ashley is excited for his friends wedding, until it turns out she wants him to be a bridesmaid... But he may just learn that he loves the role...

When your soaked in tears for years it never airs out, when you make pain look this good it never wears out.

While I've got you, and while we're alone ... can I share something with you? You know, man-to-reader? OK, fab. I am slowly becoming a girl. Yeah. Really. See, that girl you heard about just before my boring ass started chundering away about showers and carpets like a dodgy salesman, she's in my head. She has been for a really long time. Maybe soon, I'll go deeper into that. I hope that's put your minds at ease in an odd way - now you'll know why I dream from the perspective of a girl less than half my age. So, show of hands, how many of you have questions? One, two, thr ... yeah, I had a feeling it would be like this. I can't answer them right now, but I promise you will know me soon enough. Besides ... I'm counting on you for something. You, dear invisible reader, are going to play the role of my brain. I'm going to scribble down every thought, event and experience I have. You're going to be the way I no longer have to live life trapped in my own head 24/7. And eventually ... soon, you will be the reason I stop pretending. This is a promise I am making to myself, and you are all going to be witness. 2025 is the year I stop playing pretend.
