I am who I am and that's all I can be....
Towson for Barack Obama Come help get him elected .
It has taken me a very long time to make it to the point I’m at today…I can finally say that after 25 years I know who and what I am.. and I’m at peace..I have been through more than I care to recount but it has all led me up until this point and made me who I am today..I have suffered and felt gut wrenching awful pain, nearly given up and risen back to the top..and I truly believe you have to hit bottom to be able to rise to the top..I can honestly say that I have never been as happy or as at peace as I am today..I have known many people in my life and experienced many things..I’ve been wrong more than I’ve probably been right..and I’ve trusted in things that weren’t really there..I am so grateful though to be who I am and to know who I am..I can remember studying Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and memorizing it in school but never truly understanding it until recently..I believe that I have finally begun to scratch at the surface of self actualization..and I am well on my way..the only things that I regret are those that I have not done..because every instant has brought me to this moment..and I regret ever wanting to give up..because for me everyday is now a celebration of this beautiful life..and I have been blessed beyond belief with the most loving and true family and friends..and I am so grateful to all of you that have stuck by through the hard times..and helped me to rise up to this point in my life..I have found true inner happiness and peace..and that is all I need in this life..I am full of appreciation and love and excitement for what is to come…*jen*
