The Forces of Good and Evil........

You ever have someone tell you something about yourself that was hard for you to comprehend? Not because it wasn't true but because you don't see yourself that way. This happening to me today has just somehow allowed for an outer body experience. I was actually able to take a step back and look at myself, not my inner self but my outward appearance. I've spent so many years working on the "inside" of me that I had completely forgotten about the way I can still be perceived by others. I had many years to build my reputation, one that I used to be proud of, that I wore like a badge of honor! Then the day came when I realized that this badge was preventing me from obtaining all the things I really wanted in life. So, I removed the badge, hung my jersey in the rafters, threw my sneakers over a telephone wire, and got completely naked in order to begin my journey in a new direction. Now that I have a full knowledge of self, can accept and take responsibility for who I used to be and am fully aware of what I want in life, I have finally gotten "GOOD" with me. It's my fault that I sometimes expect my changes to shine through and that's just because I know how much work I put into becoming a better person. But today I realized that most people will not be able to see what I see. Especially when it comes to those with preconceived notions of my past, but guess what.........the old reputation was equally as strong as the new one is, it just wasn't on a positive path, either way it made me "That Girl" that I am today! I was an important person in a lot of lives and I'm still important to the lives that surround me today. There's nothing bad about that and so, I own it. If there are those that still want to give me the "respect" of the badge, why not let them? And from all this, the "good" me and the "evil" me were able to join forces today! I feel pleasingly dangerous now because I know who I am! Do You?
