Holding it

My friend asked me if I felt finally that I knew who I was. We were discussing life and all that. I said, after some thought, that i did. Because at this point in my life I finally feel free to be who I am. I am not bound by any circumstances to be anything other than who I want to be.

And I like that. I have nothing to hold in or hold back. And it strikes me that not much good comes to anyone or anything for people holding things in or holding back. Doing so really hurts people, I think. Moreover, I think it hurts you.

Oh anyway. Another friend recently asked me if I was happy. And you know? I just might be. I'll hold onto that.
