and so this is how it feels

And yes it feels good…

Be myself; crack corny jokes and not be reviled for it; share nonsense thoughts and laugh about it; talk about politics and really be heard even if its so damn boring to listen to another minute of it; run out of words or correct grammar and know no biggie about it; confess my misgivings and be forgiven and accepted; give a little of myself and be appreciated.

Silence airs comfortably and I can now sit and enjoy myself in front of the mirror. No not because I am narcissistic but because I now like the person I’m seeing in front of it. No pretensions and no more hurt.

And so this is acceptance… it really does feel good
