When did I become this person... I used to hide behind anothers shadow but I don't need that anymore-I wasn't this self-reliant before. Continously trying to hide my weaknesses but am not scared of them showing anymore Needed another's advise to realise my aspirations because I wasn't this self-assured before. I was confused about what I wanted and now its crystal clear-this clarity wasn't mine before. Knowing oneself and being comfortable in my own skin. I wasn't this self-confident before. This self-worth and independace-this self-belief wasn't mine before. A clear line between dreams and reality -I wasn't this honest with myself before. A mental note to myself mid-conversation -I was never this aware before. A child's innocence making my faith stronger -I wasn't this spirtual before. A prayer in the middle of the night-I wasn't this philanthropic ever before.
