It's Not Hard To Feel Afraid And

I Remember How Beautiful It Was To Fall Asleep On Your Couch And Cry In Front Of You For The First Time. You Were The Best Platform From Which To Jump Beyond Myself. What Was Wrong With Me?

Then I Realized That Secrecy Is Actually To The Detriment Of My Own Peace Of Mind And Self, And That I Could Still Sustain My Belief In Privacy And Be Authentic And Transparent At The Same Time. It Was A Pretty Revelatory Moment, And There's Been A Liberating Force That's Come From It.

I Rejected The God That Was Portrayed As Masculine And Judgmental And Cruel At Times. The Concept Of Us Bring Not Worthy To Receive Him Is Something I Used To Say Every Sunday In Church, And Eventually I Just Couldn't Say It With Any Conviction.

Freedom Lies At The Heart Of My Willingness To Lose Everything

I'm Really Clear About What My Life Mission Is Now. There's No More Depression Or Lethargy, And I Feel Like I've Returned To The Athlete I Once Was. I'm Integrating All The Parts Of Me - Jock, Musician, Writer, Poet, Philosopher - And Becoming Stronger As A Result.
