Day 3: Your favorite quote

I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will, which I now exert to leave you.

The first part I have on my necklace. As soon as I saw that necklace I showed my BFF and she said that's you. It fits you. I think the quote really speaks to me. Freedom I've found tends to recur in my writings or agency if you will. I want to be free to be myself and do what I like. It's so important to me.

Guys...guys I feel as though I'm having an awakening. I just feel so open and free. Like I have masturbated for the past three nights and not once have I felt embarrassed. I feel as though the chains that have shackled me are falling away.

I feel more comfortable with letting my real self show. You know the kinda perverted girl that lies inside of me. I feel more comfortable with expressing myself to my friends on FB.

You guys see more of the real me. The people on FB, they see my mask. They see the personality I put on: guarded, quiet, reserved.

I guess you could say that's one part of me. But inside and at the heart of it: I am loud. I am boisterous, I am rude. That's the real me.

I don't know what changed between this month and the last. I honestly don't know. But I know longer feel afraid of people getting to know who I really am. I want people to know that Destiny.

So come at me world. Give it your best shot. I'll be waiting.
