Self discovery

mundisomniorum:

I’m still learning about myself likes and dislikes what I’m good at what I’m not (*coughcough* singing) anyway what I have learned is that I love working out and being outdoors it helps me Breathe keeps me in tune with my soul I also love food any kind well I’m willing to try new things (except soups I just don’t like them) I learned that I find it difficult explaining myself to others well my feelings which I guessing I’m not the only one right? I’m learning to love myself flaws and all because they make me who I am and the only being I am willing to change for is myself to become a better version of the person I was 9 minutes ago or even a year ago I know I can’t control everything but I can control my actions it was hard as an undocumented student to have hope in a bright future I survived so long and worked so hard but somewhere along the way I lost myself lost the goal lost the person I wanted to be and became a cold person someone mad at the world for something no one had control I was mad at myself for allowing myself to become this person opening up has never been easy that’s something I’m still currently working on And hiding the fact that I was undocumented made it even worse I was hiding a part of me therefore I wasn’t allowing myself to be fully out there for people to see hiding not only hid that I was undocumented it hid part of who I was it didn’t allow me to be brave and face people like I wanted too It caused me to make myself part of the background to blend in not get soo much attention there is still so much of me that many don’t know not even myself soo in order for me to allow myself the opportunity to be who I truly am I have to come out and do something i should have done a long time ago and say I AM UNDOCUMENTED AND UNAFRAID. From today on I will work on becoming a better and stronger me. To become the person I truly am someone that isn’t afraid to risks to show people that I’m strong and will make it and do whatever I choose to do with my life because its my life and I control it!
