In life sometimes you cannot or do not act like your true self. We all are guilty of little lies every day: lying to ourselves, to others, to spare someone's feelings or to get out of an uncomfortable situation. Sometimes, if you are not completely honest with yourself, all of those little lies can add up to you not even remembering who you really are. It may not be a problem for you if you don't really like who you are in the first place. Maybe you want to be someone else. For me, I just want to be me again, and I feel like I have not been that person in a very long time. I went home and found out who that was, and even better, that I liked her.
She is the me you find when you remove all the pretense and bluster. She is who I am, for better or worse, like me or not. She is me, unplugged, the stripped-down version, minus all the bells and whistles. Just like a movie star who looks completely different without all the makeup and lighting tricks and airbrushing, she is me without the packaging and verbiage that might "sell" me better. This is me, unadorned, if you care to know. If you don't, then go away. I've decided to stop caring what you think.
