Shadow Dancing
I live with myself full-time
The perception of others
Is temporary, a pit stop
Dancing in shadows has ceased
How my life is interpreted
Is no longer my business
The perception of others
Is temporary, a pit stop
Dancing in shadows has ceased
How my life is interpreted
Is no longer my business

I had to lose myself and everything I’ve known to find myself.
Someone once told me to never apologize for who I am. I thought that’s how I was living my life. I wasn’t. When you feel like you have to explain why you do the things you do, you’re not being true to yourself. I’m okay with who I am today. Lucy won’t be ‘splainin herself unless someone asks her to and she feels like it.
Have a fantastic day.

Self discovery is a blessing in disguise as we find ourselves revolving into who we are meant to be not what others think we should be 🤔📿🫵

For I've learned that we can't please everyone else not until we please thyself first for sure we should never put others before ourselves then we are forgetting about the importance of our self esteem to be able to learn that sometimes we have to learn things from our own experience ☺️ that is what building character is about in high sight of you being you 😉

Unapologetic write, Mary. You should always be yourself, my friend. The title made me think of the, Andy Gibb song of the same name. Appreciate you.

Why does it seem like sometimes everything outside of Self is clutter? Clear the debris & watch us grow
