Progress

Well, this very awkward picture is my self portrait. I took this the other night before I planned to go to sleep right after I did my nightly journal entry and "work out" routine. I felt the need for a self portrait that represented  the changes that have occurred within me. This time time last year I was a completely different person than I am today. I am 100% sure of this because this time last year I hadn't even come out as a homosexual yet. Although I was on the rapid road to coming out, I had no clue how fast it would happen. This "self portrait" is very symbolic for me because it shows me in my purest form. It is on a very rare (aka non existent) occasion where people get a glimpse at me alone in my room. For the simple fact that I am alone in my room. In what I like to call my previous life I worked very hard at surrounding myself with people so I wouldn't have to be alone and face myself. But since I have relocated my time alone has increased and I have struggled to deal with some of my inner demons.
But by the grace of God now I am no longer afraid to be alone or be seen alone. Take a look at me now.
