our existence isn’t predicted
nor is it predestined
competency and self-knowledge emerge
through thin but mostly thick
comes about with sheer will and determination
and then only happens with a feeling of security
add to that a lack of caring for others’ discrimination
it’s when, loudly spoken
i am who i want to be
is an individual choice
then we are free
I am who I want to be! So powerful Susi. I love that!

Very wise. It takes a great deal of courage to be who you are and not care what others might think.

Thank you, Joyce! I’ve never thought of myself as courageous but I think you might be right. Time plays a part too. 🙂

Everyone achieves freedom through different channels. It isn’t the method but the final result that we celebrate – and I celebrate your freedom!
