Speaking my Mind

Today marks an important day.

Today, I finally understand what it means to be "beyond my parents."

Today, I accepted and asserted that I am an adult.

True, I have been making such gestures the last few months. Today, however, I felt empowered.

There was very little thought involved. I just went with my instinct. The words that flowed from me were already known to me - they didn't need to be crafted, or reviewed, or (given this site's name) contemplated prior to the actual conversation. I trusted that I was articulating my thoughts, feelings & sentiments for no reason other than it being the truth - the truth that needed to be said. It was no longer about being heard, or finding a voice, or even for there to be changes. I did it simply because I wanted to do it.
