Say
Written by cbte on April 8th, 2010
For a long time, I’ve feared many things. Perception has been one of my main fears. I’ve worried what people will think of me if I speak my mind. The journey I’ve been going on, however, has taught me that it doesn’t matter.
People are going to disagree with what you think and say. Some people will become uncomfortable around it. But some people, maybe only just one personin your life, will appreciate it. If nothing else, you need to be yourself for you. Don’t hold back for fear of the wrong perception. When you’re honest with yourself, your intentions are true.
Even as I’ve been discovering the man I was intended to be, the man I truly am, I’ve realized that the most important growth factor is trusting myself. Trusting myself that my true intentions are good. Trusting myself that if I feel someone needs to know how I feel, I’m going to share with them.
I can only be true to my heart’s desire. If that means stepping outside of someone else’s comfort zone, so be it. I’m living this life to be the best man I can be – not the best man someone else can be. My pledge is to be true to myself, no matter what. If I’m being honest, I can’t go wrong, right?
Here’s to a life of true and honest emotions, and to sharing them with the people I love.

Did you know some people never learn this? Me, included. Thank you for writing this. I’ve been exposed, now I hope to learn it, too.
