I understand that there are many things in this world that I cannot fix. Many people that I cannot help. And many things that I can never do. But the things that I am able to, I feel that I do because I can.
No matter who may feel they can judge me, go ahead. I have nothing to fear. I've lived my life as I've wanted and I have no regrets. The tears I've shed, I cherish, the lessons I've learned, I remember. The tears that I've caused I've done my best to ease and when I couldn't, I walked away, understanding there was nothing more I'd be allowed to do.
I am not afraid. Think what you will. I'm empowered. I will live because I'm alive. And I will love because I will. I need no one's approval, but my own. And I feel no shame and no regret. I will remember so I will not forget, but I will no longer punish myself for things that aren't under my control. This is me. I am.
And you're the only one I've ever believed in,
The answer that could never be found,
The moment you decided to let love in...
The end of fear is where we begin,
The moment we decided to let love in..."
