I am what I am. Mood
Saturday, November 15, 2008 | An Inspiring story

The thing I like most about DS is friends. My frindships are very important too me and I will fight to keep them.

 

But there is one thing that is more important to me than friendship and that is honesty about myself. I am rapidly becoming aware that if I am honest about myself, my value system dicates that I must be honest with others about who and what if this I am. Anything less would be hypocracy and I realise now that I abhor hypocracy with every part of my being.

 

I met some new friends yesterday that are not related to the TG community but I really love these friends and I am convinced that they will be understanding of who and what I am as a person. Even if this were not so it doesn't matter because a true friend must be accepting of me and in order to be accepting of me they must know me.

 

In order to be truly at peace I must accept myself completely and make it clear to others exactly what I am. This is why I believe that the song 'I am what I am' is the national anthem for TG, Gays, Lesbians and all those that society tries to castigate because they are different.

 

It has been a long road for me to arrive at the position where I am prepared to completely let go and proclaim myself as I am to the world.

 

Finally I can start to draw this chapter to a close, like the song says:

 

"Life's not worth a dam till you can shout out
I am what I am"

Enjoy the song.

    Your words ring true. I think being honest with myself is the main thing which has kept me sane.
    I held on to myself with all my might and didn't get a lot of cheering for that.
    Now I see how valuable this is in my second life. I don't need to work on finding myself since I never buried myself.
    I just need to work on creating a good place for it to be there more in my present life. Sounds like you are working on that too.
