For years, I was afraid to be my true self. I changed how I spoke, how I acted, and even how I dressed—just to fit into a mold that wasn’t meant for me. I thought that if I became what others expected, I’d finally be accepted. But the truth is, the more I hid myself, the more lost I became. This is my journey to self-acceptance, and if you’ve ever felt afraid to be yourself, I want you to know: you are enough, just as you are.
