I decided, early on, that I won’t lie for anything anymore. It’s not healthy. It’s not worth the pain. And if I want to live my life as a better, more whole person, this is what I have to do. It’s like I can breathe with every sentence. I’m no longer dreading my future. For the first time, I yearn for tomorrow and cherish yesterday and live for today. It’s peace that no one will take from me.
