Standing in my Truth.

I realized that I need to stop living a lie. Because of my background, I have been ashamed to tell people where I am from and the kind of subculture (household) I grew up in. I have done this at my own detriment and have made a conscious effort to stand in my truth. I know it is not going to be easy but I have to do this for my self-esteem, my self-growth and healing. I feel better and proud of myself for accepting myself as I am despite what others may think or if they use it against me.
