For many years I apologized for about everything. "Sorry I talk to much," "sorry I'm so crazy," "sorry I can't go out," "sorry I said that," and so on. Of course, apologies are necessary when you've done something wrong or wronged someone, however, I used to apologize for things that weren't actually wrong.

Not anymore.

I won't apologize for being me and for doing the things that make me me.

I won't apologize for being overly expressive. I'm a passionate person, I'll get excited and talk in a loud volume.

I won't apologize for loving the way I do. I don't love in half. When I love, I'll do it with my complete heart, and I'll show it- it doesn't matter if you reciprocate or not.

I won't apologize for being a little crazy. I won't apologize for dancing or singing in a public place with everyone watching. Let them watch.

I won't apologize for being insecure. I am sorry that I am, but I won't apologize to people for it. I admit my insecurities sometimes make me act a certain way I shouldn't, but that's my issue, and I'll deal with it before God.

I won't apologize for giving my opinion when you ask for it. I'm a straightforward person, and if you ask for my opinion I'll say what I truly think. I won't sugarcoat the truth.

I won't apologize for how driven and "obsessed" I am. When I want something I'll do my best to get it, and only God Himself can stop me.

I won't apologize for being so emotional. You have no idea how many times I have apologized for being overly emotional, and even got to a point where I tried to change this aspect of me. I realized that this makes my life more interesting, adds "more spice," as my best friend likes telling me. I've embraced this and I'm actually learning to enjoy it.

I won't apologize because God made me how I am, so why would I change who He made me to be? I'm in a process of becoming the best version of who God made me and I've decided to enjoy the process and not beat myself up because I'm not perfect. To be honest, I'm loving not being perfect and you should too.
