Posted by Anonymous on 2015/07/05 under Uncategorized Acceptance. This is the word of the day. I need to fully accept many things I have been constantly neglecting during my entire life. Perhaps, writing it here may help me to give a step further into accepting those things, simple as they might appear. 1. I am a human. It sounds quite odd, but I need to recognise I am a human being and that I DO have necessities compatible to this condition, such as rest, leisure and love. 2. I deserve to be respected, specially by myself. As if everyday transgressions were not enough, I also need to stop disrespecting myself. I need to stop boycotting myself, as I actually do when I avoid situations and people that might be beneficial to my life. 3. I am gay. It no longer disturbs me, the internal acceptance process has already taken place. Painful as it was, however, I never admitted it publicly, except for few close friends. 4. I fell in love again and I need to do something about it. I already frustrated myself too many times by never investing in anyone who arose interest in me. And I need to act in order to change myself and, ultimately, this bad behaviour. Well, the issues have been exposed and I hope I have the strength and courage necessary to change.
