If I Had One Wish

I’m at a point where all I want to do is be ME. I wish there was a place that I could go, if only for 5 minutes at a time, and exist just the way I am. I just want to escape from the pressure of having to tweak my personality or my appearance just to avoid being labeled. I’m tired of having to defend and explain myself. I’m exhausted. I just want to be accepted the way I am right now, without changes or enhancements. If only such a space existed. While I may not be able to create a space like that for myself (barring complete isolation), I will try my hardest to be a person whose judgement other people don’t have to fear. When people are around me I want them to feel loved, protected, and free to be who they are. I’ll add that to my to-do list.
