Today I realized I like who I am. It's freeing to know you can be who you are without worrying about what other people are going to think of you. It definitely wasn't always that way for me, but recently I have learned to be content with who I am and making the most of it.

I like the freedom of being confidant in the choices I make and the simplicity of living life for God's glory alone. It's like a physical weight being lifted off my shoulders. I feel so carefree and happy. If the way I feel could be represented by a picture, it would look like this:
