-no to the last minute invitation to the bar.
-no to the temptation of just lounging on my mothers front porch.
-no to going to watch a movie with a friend.
-most importantly: no to my old ways of stopping when it gets to be too much, too hard or too different.
I have waken from my slumber and the love I have for my self is stronger than ever. For I can truly admire and love the woman I've become. I will continue to mature and grow into this beautiful person. The feeling is overwhelmingly exciting and joyous.
