The Sunshine After The Rain: Back To Me

It feels so good to feel like me.
It sounds crazy, I'm sure.
I don't care.
I've been dealing with so much, had so much on my shoulders, so much of it unnecessary, I'm just so relieved just to be me, just to be back to who I am, without those worries. I know I'm in a better place now. Maybe it won't be an easier job, maybe it will present obstacles I could never have seen coming, but I'm okay, and I will be okay, because I remember who I am.
I remember who I want to be.
The girl who always does something to feel like a lady, rather than just another number, another body, another uniform.
The girl who keeps her head up even when things get hard, and remembers who loves her when she needs them- and when she doesn't.
The girl who remembers what she wanted before, but couldn't get- and continues to reach for it.
The girl who doesn't care that people crack jokes about how she's different, because they're true, and there's no issue, so long as she remains true to herself.
The girl who remembers to pray.
I'm trying to be a better person. There's a few people who've been there for me in amazing ways these last few weeks, when things were the hardest. Some of them I could name, but won't, others, well, others are better left unmentioned. Regardless of whether or not I thank you personally, please understand that I love my friends, my family, my mentors, dearly, and know that I haven't forgotten anyone, and understand that I'm just trying to remember who I am. Thank you all for loving me unconditionally, it's an amazing feeling to truly have people to belong with. It's something I'm just learning to allow myself to believe in, to trust in, and I thank those of you who have been there all through the process, and continue standing by me, even though I'm not always an easy person to support and care about.
Thank you. I love you guys!
