I learned a long time ago to stop asking for permission and forgiveness for who I am and what I want.

I don’t need a spotlight, I shine from within, but there’s some people who don’t want anyone shining brighter than them.
That’s okay, they can follow my stardust and soul shine as long as they want,
I’m not dampening my brilliance so that someone else can try to steal it away.
I’m authentic, I’m genuine and I’m real in every way, every day.
I’m not going to stand in your shadow and I’m not seeking approval for being wonderfully awesome.
I really don’t even need you to understand my magic, because I’m unapologetically happy in my own skin.
Maybe you don’t always get me, and truthfully, I don’t, either.
There are days that I wake up not knowing which way is up or why I want to cry for no reason for ten minutes.
But you can count on me to show up, stand up and always be shining.
Sometimes, there may be tears behind my eyes and clouds over my soul, but I own that about myself and I made peace with my beautiful angst a long time ago.
I realize I may not make sense sometimes and even be randomly emotional, but that’s all just part of my indescribable soulfulness.
I live and love by my heart, and I don’t always take my head with me.
I love hard when there’s love to be had and I chase my dreams with relentless optimism and unbridled passion.
When you look at me, you’re never going to wonder where I stand or what I’m thinking, because you’ll be the first to know.
I know I’m not always the easiest to love, but that’s the part of my spirit that makes me so amazing.
I’ll always be that beautiful disaster and gorgeous mess that keeps life interesting.
What’s the point of just going through life, merely existing?
I want to live..truly live- frenetically alive with the feelings that no one can ever take away from me...
To know that I’ve tasted the best of life, chased the wildest dreams and experienced the most vibrant essences of the world,
That is what I want.
Forget ordinary days and lukewarm coffee, I want to be immeasurably alive every single day.
So, if you want to take my hand and embrace the impossible, I welcome your company.
I’ll never let fear of failure define me.
No matter where I go and what I do, I’ll always chase it with my distinctive flair.
I’m not for the faint of heart, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
So, if you think you can handle my magic and embrace life by my side, then let’s go find some adventure.
My dreams will never have an expiration and my magic is boundless.
The question is..
Can you handle my raw and authentic truth?
Together,
Let’s go fall in love with being alive..
every day.
