Ch.8 My Secret Place

Dear book, 1-24-17

My deepest fear was being me, but then I realized it is my light, not my darkness that most frightens me. I always asked myself, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? When should I've been thinking who am I not to be? I am a child of God. Me playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around me. We are all meant to shine, as children do. As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. I'm nothing without me, and I'll be all I need, no matter what. I think I found myself, hanging out with Pedro today. All he did was give me a simple hug and I found myself. I was so close to him I could hear his heart beating, it was beating fast. Don't get the Idea that I like him or anything he will always be a little brat, but I just needed that hug right now. It's not easy being at home by myself all day writing in a book (no offense).

It just seemed awesome to know someone else is like me. Pedro is like me and I'm happy, but now, we'll probably have to be around each other. I am so not looking forward to this, but I'll be okay. Goodnight.
