Life Lessons

I’ve Learned

To live my own life

I’ve learned over time

People mean well

And will tell you what to do

With your life

But, they usually get things wrong.

Now that I’ve decided what I want

I am blossoming

Into the person I want to be.

Less stressed

No need to keep up with others

I am free to be me.

I can just be what I am meant to be.

And love myself for being me.

Instead of obsessing how to be

Someone who isn’t me.
