About This Quote
There are some things that you want to say, but are too scared to say them out loud, fearing the consequences. Early on in my life I was filled with doubts and anxieties about the way I looked, the way I dressed, and the way I interacted. Some of these anxieties stemmed from my childhood experiences. Others came from my own personal anxieties.
But no matter what they were really about, these anxieties were all tied together. I had always been afraid that if people knew me as I truly was, they would no longer love me or accept me. The truth is that if you are true to yourself, people will love you regardless of what you look like or how you act.
