Unapologetic Living: Ignoring Judgment & Being Real

All my life I’ve been told who I should be,

what I should wear or what I should look like.

I tried to do what I was told, but it just didn’t take.

I was never happy fitting into their labels and boxes, so I stopped trying.

I realized that I’m unique, and I want more than to do what everyone else is doing.

I can’t and don’t do anything small or halfway.

I’m not afraid to put myself out there and take risks.

Sure, I’ve been hurt more than my fair share, but I don’t stop trying to love and be loved.

It’s a risk I’m willing to take, because the reward – love – is worth the price … any price.

I know many would never agree with that, but it’s my choice, and I’ll take the chance without hesitation.

I’ve spent many sleepless nights crying myself to sleep or tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep because my mind wouldn’t stop..

But that’s just part of it, and I accept that.

I refuse to stop living and stop loving because I’ve had my heart broken.

I learned from my mistakes and I built higher walls around my heart, but I still give too much of myself..that’s just who I am.

I live every day to the fullest, and I love with all my heart …

And I don’t plan on changing.

It’s who I am- I can’t love anything or anyone halfway.

So, if you think you’re going to come into my life with some lackluster passion or part time friendship, think again..

I expect what I give and I give it all.

I’m always there for my people and I always will be.

I wear my heart on my sleeve and I speak my mind..that’s just who I am.

When it comes to romance, I don’t need grandiose promises or fancy dreams.

I yearn for real, authentic and genuine love- deep feeling, soul touching, heart stimulating and visceral emotional connection.

Anything less isn’t enough for me.

I’m sure the world will shake its head in disapproval at the way I live and love, and they’re welcome to pass judgment on me.

It doesn’t mean I’ll care or listen.

They don’t know where I’ve been and don’t know my reasons, so they don’t have the right to think they know me..because they don’t.

So, I’m going to keep charging hard into every day with everything I have, no matter how hard the challenges may be.

I was born to become more and that’s just what I’m doing.

Big heart, big hopes, big dreams..

And it all starts with me.

I’ll keep taking the chances for amazing love and wonderful friendships, because just like I always do,

I’m going to keep loving hard and living with all my heart.

It’s now or never,

So I’m choosing now.
